Can change prediction help prioritise redesign work in future engineering systems?
(2010-05)
Future design environments will necessitate improved management of the propagation and impacts of changes. To ascertain whether change prediction can assist in making better work prioritisation decisions, this paper develops ...
An introduction to the Cambridge advanced modeller
(Modelling and Management of Engineering ProcessesModelling and Management of Engineering Processes, 2010-06-25)
Complex products and their development processes may be viewed as systems,
whose different aspects can be modelled as networks of interactions between
elements in different domains. Many approaches have been proposed to ...
A cybernetic perspective on methods and process models in collaborative designing
(2012-05)
Cybernetic thinking provides a framework to understand the issues in creating and using methods and process models during collaborative designing. It can help understand what takes place while the creation and use is ...
Design of robust service operations using cybernetic principles and simulation
(2012-05)
Information flows in a service organisation allow business units to co-ordinate their response to changes in the operating environment. Processes and interactions can be designed so that the right information flows to the ...
How can PD process modelling be made more useful? An exploration of factors which influence modelling utility
(2010-05)
In what sense is PD process modelling useful? and how can the utility of modelling be improved?
In this paper, we approach these questions through an analysis of PD process modelling ‘utility’ – which in broad terms we ...
Modelling the evolution of uncertainty levels during design
(Springer, 2011-08-19)
Design work involves uncertainty that arises from, and influences, the progressive development of solutions. This paper analyses the influences of evolving uncertainty levels on the design process. We focus on uncertainties ...
Simulating intertwined design processes that have similar structures: a case study of a small company that creates made-to-order fashion products
(Inderscience, 2011-01)
The authors use simulation to analyse the resource-driven dependencies between concurrent processes used to create customised products in a company. Such processes are uncertain and unique according to the design changes ...
Redesigning the design process through interactive simulation: A case study of life-cycle engineering in jet engine conceptual design
(Inderscience, 2011-01)
Many aerospace companies are currently making the transition to
providing fully-integrated product-service offerings in which their products are
designed from the outset with life-cycle considerations in mind. Based on ...
