Terms and Measures for Styling Properties
Podehl, G. // 2002
The integration of styling work into the overall product development process is still not sufficiently achieved. Engineering and styling use different concepts and terminologies. Both areas are ...
The Importance of Corporate Culture in Collaborative Product Design
Marxt, C. // 2002
Due to the increasing complexity of technologies and products, the search for new know-how as well as the shortening of development cycle times a lot of companies collaborate in (new) product design. ...
The Influences of Organisation on Leadership in the Design Process: Results of an Investigation in Five Industrial Companies
Lüdcke, R.; Birkhofer, H. // 2002
The concept of leadership is closely bonded with the concept of organization: one defines and influences the other. The consequences and situations in which these problems arise are shown in this ...
Using Experience in Design. A Practical Attempt to Simplify the Design Process
Hollins, B. // 2002
Using of 3-D Parametrical Blocking Contours for Optimizing External Cylindrical Gear Drives on a "Geometrical Level"
Nenov, P.; Anguelova, A.; Kaloyanov, B. // 2002
Always when the operating gear center distance is not specified, the modern design process of a gear drive with optimal parameters could start by creating a 3-D model of it parametrical blocking ...
Vehicle Dynamics Simulation, Part 1: Mathematical Model
Ciglarič, Iztok; Prebil, Ivan // 2002
The field of computational dynamic is surveyed, focusing on issues relevant to develop complex and numerical efficient mathematical models. Considering the topic of mathematical model, today various ...
A METHODOLOGY FOR RATIONALISING PAST DESIGNS FOR RE-USE
Duffy, A. H. B.; Legler, S. // 1998
Reuse is endemic in the design process. Companies recognise the concept of reuse, but few have structures for managing and taking advantage of reuse. Correspondingly, little work has been done to ...
MODELING CONFIGURABLE PRODUCT FAMILIES
Tiihonen, Juha; Lehtonen, Timo; Soininen, Timo; Puikkinen, Antti; Sulonen, Reijo; Riitahuhta, Asko // 1998
This paper presents a method for managing and modelling a product family as a configurable product. The method enables efficient management of a large number of product variants. The modeling is ...
SPECIFYING RELATIONSHIPS IN PRODUCT FAMILIES TO ENABLE STEP-BASED IMPLEMENTATIONS
McKay, Alison; de Pennington, Alan // 1998
If companies are to gain advantage from adopting STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data [ISO303]) then the gap between the application context of an Application Protocol (AP) and the ...

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCT STRUCTURES
Yu, Bei // 1997
In general, the process of managing configuration consistency is regarded as a set of problem¬solving methods which could work without • concerning product structures. Nonetheless, product ...
REQUIREMENTS OF COMPUTER-BASED MODELLING AND MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE EVOLUTION SUPPORT
Zhang, Yan; Duffy, Alex; MacCallum, Ken // 1997

Design Process Capture and Support
Blessing, Lucienne T. M. // 1996
Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
