Abstract:
The aim of this research is to generate an Integrated Product Development (IPD) model aimed specifically at developing aircraft food dispensing machines (AFDM) to be retrofitted into the galley of a commercial aircraft. The developed model, recognised as AFDM_IPD, consists of six phases and although it is based on already established design and IPD principles, it is being represented in a completely unique way, through a simple IDEF0 modeling language syntax. The major benefit of using IDEF0 is that it applies dynamic information into the model to handle problems involving parallel activities.
