THE PRACTISE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE INNOVATION PROCESS OF A COMPANY MAKING LUXURY WATCH
Alberti, P. // 2008
The present evolution of the industrial environment is characterised by a high level of uncertainty concerning the effective expectations of the market, the available technologies, the abilities to ...
THE RELATION BETWEEN PROJECT RISKS AND ROBUSTNESS OF DESIGN – A CRUCIAL FACTOR OF SUCCESS IN PLANT ENGINEERING
Moehringer, S. // 2008
In competitive markets with global sourcing the acquisition phase in plant engineering is essential. It is the aim of the contractor to quote a project with the best price possible in order to ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR AN IMPROVED DETECTION OF COMPONENT LINKAGES
Boersting, P.; Keller, R.; Alink, T.; Eckert, C. M.; Albers,A.; Clarkson, P. J. // 2008
Functional product models in design so far were built up by asking for the main function of a product first and then breaking the main function down into sub-functions, until an appropriate level of ...
The Role of Engineering Courses in Industrial Design Education: A Case Study at the University of Botswana
Moalosi, Richie; Molokwane, Shorn // 2008
THE ROLE OF NARRATIVE IN EVOLVING ENGINEERING DESIGN DOCUMENTATION
Eng, N. L.; Bracewell, R. H.; Clarkson, P. J. // 2008
Graph representations are emerging to replace more traditional narrative forms of knowledge capture. These seem to be a better fit for work with modern hyperlinked, non-linear computerized systems ...
The Semantic Interaction of Knowledge, Data andProcesses within the Product Development Process
Maletz, M.; Zoier, M.; Cristea, L.; Brisson, D. // 2008
THE SKETCH POWER TO SUPPORT PRODUCT DESIGN
Elsen, C.; Leclercq, P. // 2008
This paper is interested in the extent to which sketches and 3D representations are important in today's design process, particularly during the preliminary creative phases of product design. We ...
The Why-Matrix
Maurer, M.; Braun, T. // 2008
The [Design of] Educational Space: A Process-Centred Built Pedagogy
Luz, Ana // 2008
THE “OLD MASTERS” OF ENGINEERING DESIGN AND THE MODERN FORM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF AUTOMOBILES

THEORY OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS (TTS) – ITS ROLE FOR DESIGN THEORY AND METHODOLOGY AND CHALLENGES IN THE FUTURE
Weber, Christian // 2008
THEORY OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS AND ENGINEERING DESIGN SCIENCE - LEGACY OF VLADIMIR HUBKA
Eder, W. E. // 2008
The personal and professional history of Vladimir Hubka is outlined. The scope of science leads to typical research methods for design, and the triad ‘theory – subject – method’ connects a scientific ...
TIDYING UP DESIGN METHODS – AN APPROACH USING ELEMENTARY DESIGN METHODS
Birkhofer, H. // 2008
This contribution presents an innovative approach to defining elementary design methods to “tidy up” the obscure body of prescriptive procedures for design work. The key concept to overcome this was ...
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF COGNITIVE TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Paetzold, K.; Schmid, U. // 2008
Today increasingly intelligence is expected by technical systems with which they should be enable to operate autonomously. Therewith technical systems are to be put in the position to react flexible ...
TOLERANCE ANALYSIS OF GEOMETRICALLY NON-IDEAL SYSTEMS IN MOTION
Stuppy, J.; Meerkamm, H. // 2008
The functionality of technical systems in motion is influenced by small geometrical variations of their components. To quantify this influence, tolerance analysis is carried out. In this paper, ...
TOWARDS A DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR COMPUTATIONAL SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS
Schotborgh, W. O.; Kokkeler, F. G. M.; Tragter, H.; Röring, M. H. L.; van Houten, F. J. A. M. // 2008
A computational synthesis system (CSS) automates the generation phase of a design process. Development of a CSS for a new design case has not received much attention in the literature, since most ...
TOWARDS AN INTEGRATION OF SIX SIGMA, DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA AND DESIGN METHODOLOGY
Schmidt-Kretschmer, M.; Warncke, T. R. // 2008
The selection and interpretation of methods and workflow within the product development process are not synchronous and practice usually varies between the departments involved (e.g. development and ...
Towards Integrated Modelling of Product Lifecycle Management Information and Processes

TRANSPARENT 3D VISUALIZATION OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEM STRUCTURES
Diehl, H.; Hellenbrand, D.; Lindemann, U. // 2008
Within this paper an interactive tool for the transparent visualization of cross discipline and cross domain dependencies in the context of the development of mechatronic systems is presented. The ...
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.
