Abstract

This paper provides a methodology to reduce weight and costs of thermal management systems for traction batteries in vehicles by using value engineering approaches and a matrix-based product description. This allows product developers to analyze and to improve the complex dependencies and relationships between all requirements, functions, properties and characteristics of the product as well as the respective associated costs and weights. This methodology is used and validated in the contribution for a simplified sealing plate of one cell module.

Keywords: design optimization, matrix-based product description, DSM, lightweight design, cost reduction, decision making
