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:
Maintenance costs are becoming increasingly important to running a profitable business. The foundation of lower costs is an effective maintenance process. Often the maintenance process is similar to sequential engineering, which is often considered inefficient. This paper looks into how sequential inefficiency was solved through concurrent engineering and how to apply this to the maintenance process. Four initiatives are derived and applied in a case study. Implementing the initiatives is shown to give a potential 12% cost reduction indicating a need for a more concurrent maintenance process.
