Abstract:
In a changing world with increasing conflicts and natural disasters, many countries have begun to refresh their infrastructure and equipment for catastrophe management and civil protection. Regarding the new spending plans of the German government for billions of Euros, the German Armed Forces, as well as the German civil disaster relief organisations, will refresh their field hospitals. Although there are existing standardisation documents from NATO, there are no official civil German, European or International standardisations for general purposes in existence, which could offer a product development thread. With this paper, a first standardisation approach for field hospital development is presented by identifying and linking parameters of mobile sanitary solutions via a Design Structure Matrix (DSM).
