Abstract:
This paper presents a novel approach to enable change within the life cycle of a production unit and enhance the usability of a re-design and change process by consistent interaction between the design and evaluation method. The method, based on Axiomatic Design, is used to find a design solution for a changeable production unit in a structured way. In a later phase of the life cycle the corresponding evaluation method gives a result which results in the need for parts of the previously designed production unit to be adjusted in order to improve the changeability of the entire system. The paper demonstrates a significant improvement in usability by combining design and evaluation process. In addition, the holistic approach is validated and explained by an use case of the automotive industry.
