Abstract: This paper investigates a multidisciplinary framework that simulates design decisions in a complex teambased product development in which engineers simultaneously work on a team project and individual projects. The proposed ...

Abstract: Commonality, or the use of the same components among products in a product family, has been considered an effective approach to design a product family. By implementing commonality, a firm can reduce the number of distinct ...

Abstract: Concurrent engineering is a product development approach in which engineers simultaneously design products and processes to improve customer satisfaction, enhance product quality, and reduce product costs. While various ...

Abstract: This paper presents casebased reasoning methods for cost estimation and cost uncertainty modeling that may help designers select a new product concept at the early stage of product development. The casebased reasoning ...

Abstract: Commonality or the use of same components (parts, assemblies, or subsystems) among multiple products can reduce component inventory and simplify processes and logistics while accommodating variations in product demand. ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an approach to investigate associations between design concepts and design outcomes. In the proposed approach, three deliverables (concept sketches, proofofconcept (POC) prototypes, and final products) ...
