NordDesign 2020
The NordDesign conferences serve as a Nordic complement to the larger international conferences in design and product development, but we also wish to welcome participants from all other countries.
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:
In this paper, the handling of different product family generations is methodically supported. In order to prepare low internal complexity for offering future product variants, Design for Variety and modularisation approaches are used to build a MDM matrix framework to structure two product family generations based and demonstrated on a real development case. The activities are assisted by means of graph analysis software to obtain change propagation paths and SysML to ensure data consistency and track changes respectively.
