Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Structured, flexible and tailorable standard processes help companies to conduct development projects successfully. When putting them into practice major issues arise. Often, there is an inadequate documentation of these processes. An additional problem is that the project leaders do not have sufficient support through appropriate methods in order to adjust the processes to their projects. They do not have a detailed overview of all the influencing factors affecting their processes, which effects they have on the development process and how they change over time. Hence, an initial methodological procedure to determine process specific influencing factors has been developed in order to generate project specific adoptable development projects. This work covers the validation and improvement of this procedure via a case study in an OEM in the automotive sector. Furthermore, part of the influencing factors, which were conducted with the mentioned method, are presented along with a developed categorisation scheme.
