One success factor in engineering design is the ability to make effective and risk-managed decisions in a timely manner. Rarely is a single person sufficient to resolve today’s complex, connected issues. Rather, a group of stakeholders possessing required expert knowledge needs to be enrolled as these issues normally requires a...
ABSTRACT The topic of ‘design for value’ has lately attracted a great deal of attention within the engineering design community. ‘Predicting’ the value of a future solution is however difficult, especially in early design phases. Modelling and simulation is believed to be able to support this challenging task. A simulation...
ABSTRACT Due to ever increasing challenges faced by our global society, circular design and the idea of product-service systems (PSS) is gaining traction within businesses. However, ‘predicting’ the value of a future PSS solution in the early design phases is difficult, since it requires the ability to balance long term...
In their editorial, Tim McAloone, Daniela Pigosso, Niels Henrik Mortensen and Yoshiki Shimomura remind us that the philosophy behind in Industrial Product Service Systems is to create customer-oriented solutions that function for longer and thus increase resource productivity, minimise resource consumption and enhance the ultimate value-add to the end user.
Research paper published in 19th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED13), 19-22 August, 2013, Seoul, Korea. Abstract This paper presents a computer-based approach for conceptual design that aims to enhance collaborative supply chain development in the automotive sector when dealing with product-service development or radical innovations. The focus of the research has been...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 12th International Design Conference – Design 2012. Abstract The paper discussed potentials and existing challenges of considering Value when designing a Product-Service System offering. The main problem has been identified on having new methods and tools that can help designers to consider every...
National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: PROJECT SUMMARY This project, Mechanical whole engine conceptual design and analysis: A MEthodology for OPtimization, Integration and Automation, is a continuation of the pilot study project NFFP4202 – Mechanical whole engine modelling where a platform, together with a pilot that demonstrated the capability of...
National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: V4401 – Service Concept Design 2005-2007 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY The project aim at strengthen the aerospace industry competence within Functional Product Development. The approach is activity based modelling, simulation and visualization of hardware based services in the concept phase of the product development process....
Centre for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing 2005-2010 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY Through the Center for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing, Luleå University of Technology aims to first of all support automotive winter testing in Northern Sweden. This means to support the local automotive test entrepreneurs and through them their customers:...
For Siemens-Elema, a seminar was put together to demonstrate possibilities with modeling and simulation to improve the product development. The seminar will demonstrate the potential of simulation in product development process. It offers a view of what can be done with computational tools in the current situation, highlighting the ways and methodsand to demonstrate trends in the field. The seminar focuses on the finite element analysis and dynamic analysis, but affects the development...
