Abstract:
In the context of this contribution, the term-product generation development is defined with the help of the systems theory approach and distinguished from already existing terms. Within the scope of the empirical study, the need for a definition of product generation development is confirmed and put into the context of knowledge management. Hereby, it can be demonstrated that developers often reuse a big share of components despite having a bad overview of the completed projects. One solution lies in the product structure, which does not change a lot, and, thus, a reference system model can be created in order to link corresponding information to this model.
