- Total care products (functional products) are integrated systems comprising hardware and support services. The functional product supplier provides all the support systems that are required to keep the hardware operable. The support systems are often referred to as 'services'. The success of total care products depends upon both hardware and services. Well established methods exist for the design of hardware. In comparison, design processes and methods for services are not so well developed. This paper is concerned with the definition and design of functional products, in particular design of services in the context of total care products. Literature from the service sector is reviewed extensively to identify the principal components of service design. The information required for the execution of each component of the process, and outputs of each component, are considered with respect to the design of total care products. Of particular interest is the customer-supplier relationship throughout the design process. The design of a total care product may involve the creation of a new service system or there may be an existing system that may be adapted or developed. Similarly, hardware may be mature or be a completely new product. There are therefore number of permutations of novelty and maturity in the hardware and service components of a new total care product. The design processes and methods employed must take into account the required degree of novelty in each component. Typically a customer will be given a guarantee of a certain level of availability of the total care product. This brings into sharp focus the reliability and maintainability of the total system. Further research directions in total care product design are identified especially related to functional reliability

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In new business-to-business relations within the aerospace industry, companies join together in partnership to perform product development, taking full responsibility for their product during its entire life cycle. This paper describes a method on how these downstream effects can be simulated in a cross-company collaborative situation. A case study was conducted where a jet engine component manufacturer and a tool manufacturer used each other's expertise in a collaborative approach to make "holes" in a jet engine component. Ten conceptual jet engine frames were collaboratively evaluated within two working days. The distributed engineering environment creates a new situation for the partnership companies by allowing them to work efficiently within the activities that have been incorporated into the distributed engineering environment. Downstream effects of the overall system can then be evaluated already in the conceptual phase, thus allowing the partners to design the life cycle properties of their common product

- A structured method for selection of technology requirements is described which exemplifies a concept for continuos development of organization, coworkers and methods. Using a process oriented view for product planning, needs for improved technologies have been identified at two business centers at Volvo Aero Corporation.Structured analysis is introduced by using a simplified QFD analysisapproach, illustrating the key principles of structured analysis. The objective of the analysis is to obtain overview of technology requirements and then define detailed technology programs. The examples discussed are on methods and technology for gas turbine high temperature components. The technology improvements are then continuously integrated with ongoing product development.

Integrated Competence Development : A Concept for Company and University Coordinated Research
- 1997

Ingår i: Proceedings from sixth international conference on management of technology. ; , s. 641-650

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A framework for competence development involving universities and company in tight co-operation is being developed at Volvo Aero. A process oriented view and a concept for learning organisations are key factors for the company’s competence profile and thereby it’s competitiveness.Experience from ongoing co-operation programs is presented. The objective is to transfer scientific knowledge into technical knowledge and at the same time stimulate university education and research. The concept is based on PhD students and professors associated to both organisations and working in multi disciplinary teams. As a result, the level of interaction and communication between the university and the company have been significantly enhanced.Advantages and disadvantages of this tight coupling between university and company are discussed.

- This paper discusses Information Driven Collaborative Engineering (IDCE) as an enabler of Functional Product Innovation (FPI). It discusses challenges that arise in functional product development and how distributed collaborative work will be affected. Finally the paper proposes bringing the domains of Distributed Collaborative Engineering (DCE) and Knowledge Enabled Engineering (KEE) together to form IDCE, in order to meet these challenges.
