“…Thirdly, some of the methods found within the papers take other additional criteria into account, such as functional importance (Albers et al, 2013;Caldwell et al, 2013), customer requirements (Posner et al, 2014) and material composition (Lewis et al, 2014). Three papers appeared in both reviews (Albers et al, 2018;Caldwell et al, 2013;Alonso et al, 2012). The investigation within this paper revealed several issues concerning the criteria used for deriving lightweight potential.…”

Lightweight potential is a powerful indicator – but not as powerful as it could be. Current methods for analyzing a product's potential to be reduced in mass only deal with a few of the most important criteria for lightweight design. The amount of literature dealing with lightweight design is significant, yet it can help to understand these versatile criteria. Firstly, the literature on this topic will therefore be reviewed to derive a broad set of criteria used in contemporary lightweight design. Secondly, a further review will reveal the criteria used to derive lightweight potential. Subsequently, both sets will be compared to identify the missing criteria used for the derivation of lightweight potential. This will support designers in two ways. On the one hand, matching and combining both criteria sets will enable the most representative criteria for a particular design case to be chosen, thus leading to a more comprehensible derivation of lightweight potential. On the other hand, the combination set will provide a basis for designers and design teams to refine their understanding of their own motivations for conducting lightweight design.

“…However, the different methods often only cover a small selection of the lightweight criteria most relevant for the particular industry (Laufer et al, 2019). The flexibility of these methods to be applied to other lightweight design scenarios is often limited because the adaptability to versatile criteria sets is not given (see inter alia Alonso et al, 2012;Lewis et al, 2014;Albers et al, 2018). On the one hand, when deriving lightweight potential, this reduces the general applicability of these methods to different lightweight contexts.…”

Lightweight potential is a powerful indicator – but not as powerful as it could be. Current methods for analyzing a product's potential to be reduced in mass only deal with a few of the most important criteria for lightweight design. This paper presents an approach transferring cost-benefit analysis to the holistic derivation of lightweight potential. The approach is able to deal with different types of criteria supporting the designer in indentifying the most promising components for mass reduction. An evaluation example is given showcasing a tooling machine.

The context of product development can be understood as transformation of needs into technical solutions under the continuous handling of uncertainties. These result particularly in early development phases from a lack of technical knowledge. In order to counter the uncertainties, companies are increasingly implementing agile approaches, which mostly originate in the area of software development. Although these are suitable for flexible handling of project management activities and lead to an increased reactivity of the development team, they do not address the early and continuous integration of technical knowledge into the process. With the aim of optimizing mechatronic systems with regard to their lightweight design potentials, in this article a method is developed that supports agile development with the goal of lightweight design. Therefore, it combines a method for functional modelling with a function-based lightweight design method. The targeted integration of technical knowledge has shown that lightweight design potentials can be optimized iteratively in agile approaches. As an initial validation, the applicability of the method was demonstrated in a development project.
