“…Concerning environmental sustainability, the question of the environmental consequences of customization has been asked [31]. Positive factors such as the reduction of unrequired components can be raised [32], while a higher variety of components could lead to more resource consumption [33]. Analysis of customization in the fashion sector reported decisional areas that included supplier selection and manufacturing defects [34].…”

Facing the need to address environmental issues of our society and individual customer needs and wants along with the trend of offering hybrids of services and products, the ability to efficiently design hybrid offerings is imperative to provide high levels of added value. This ability is much needed throughout the industry, while this type of design is highly challenging due to its high complexity. To date, however, there have been only a few proposals for methods that tackle this challenge at the conceptual design stage. This article proposes a model, a method, and a computerized tool that together support the conceptual design of families of product/service systems (PSSs). First, a PSS family model is presented and then implemented as an add-on to an existing computer-aided design (CAD) tool. Next, a method building upon the model and lean principles is developed as a design procedure. The software and the method are verified through an industrial example of designing a family of logistic services. The proposed model, method, and tool were found effective for describing different key elements of PSS family design. The power of the CAD tool was also demonstrated by taking advantage of a database of model building blocks and semi-automatic calculations.

This survey provides a review of the fundamental approaches to design for mass customisation (DFMC), design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for supply chains (DFSC). The key term here is design while mass customisation, manufacturing and supply chain are the contexts from which the respective design objectives are derived. While these three areas of design are closely related, they have different focusses, which is reflected in the broader range of approaches proposed in the literature. The authors look at the literature through the lens of the product, process, and supply chain optimisation, with a variety of objectives ranging from improving product quality and variety while reducing costs, minimising environmental impacts and optimising supplier manufacture cooperation. In addition to the reviews of the approaches to DFMC, DFM and DFSC, recommendations on their practical system implementations are provided. While the authors acknowledge that the richness of the literature of each of the three design areas warrants a dedicated literature review, the main purpose of this survey is to pursue an integrated view on the three design issues faced by modern manufacturers and provide them and other related practitioners with a summary of representative approaches in the literature. Although it was not intended to conduct an exhaustive literature review of the literature, researchers from academia may still find the work useful by looking at the interactions of the three design areas from the perspective of joint-decision making, which is the angle from which the literature is approached.

Automated analysis of feature models: Quo vadis?

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Feature models have been used since the 90's to describe software product lines as a way of reusing common parts in a family of software systems. In 2010, a systematic literature review was published summarizing the advances and settling the basis of the area of Automated Analysis of Feature Models (AAFM). From then on, different studies have applied the AAFM in different domains. In this paper, we provide an overview of the evolution of this field since 2010 by performing a systematic mapping study considering 423 primary sources. We found six different variability facets where the AAFM is being applied that define the tendencies: product configuration and derivation; testing and evolution; reverse engineering; multi-model variability-analysis; variability modelling and variability-intensive systems. We also confirmed that there is a lack of industrial evidence in most of the cases. Finally, we present where and when the papers have been published and who are the authors and institutions that are contributing to the field. We observed that the maturity is proven by the increment in the number of journals published along the years as well as the diversity of conferences and workshops where papers are published. We also suggest some synergies with other areas such as cloud or mobile computing among others that can motivate further research in the future.
