- Computer-based design analysis activities are an essential part of most product development projects in industry. An effective integration of the analysis activity into the product development process, especially when the design analysis is performed not by the engineering designer but by an analyst, internal or external to the company, is therefore very valuable. The contribution in this work is a design analysis process model that tries to eliminate some integration issues (transmission of incorrect information, disagreement on activities…) through the use of quality assurance techniques and procedures: quality checks, verification and validation, and uncertainty treatment. The process model is formulated in general terms so that it can be adapted to particular product development processes available in the industry.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Computer-based design analysis activities are an essential part of most product development projects in industry. An effective integration of the analysis activity into the product development process is therefore very valuable. The current work shows that design analysis activities are constrained and influenced by many elements from their working environment. Factors exogenous to the design analysis activity, but that have an important effect on it, are identified and grouped along their levels of influence on the activity: some appear within the development project, some are at the enterprise level, and some are outside the sphere of the enterprise. The proposed classification has the advantage of indicating what leverage a stakeholder can have upon such factors: the farther from the analysis activity context, the more difficult it is to act upon them. Furthermore, a guideline presents how to deal with these factors during design analysis planning and execution within a product development project and in alternative enterprise configurations. Being aware of those factors should prevent fastidious iterations resulting from a poorly planned and organised design analysis task.

Effectiveness of the systematic engineering design methodology

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reviews a set of published industrial applications and research studies in order to assess the effectiveness of the systematic engineering design methodology. Effectiveness, which can be considered as the degree to which the final design solution fulfils the design requirements, is one of the critical features of a design methodology. It cannot be concluded upon the reviewed publications that the methodology is not effective but it cannot be concluded either that the methodology is superior to an intuitive approach. The published industrial applications that have been identified have served mainly to confirm that the systematic engineering design methodology can lead to successful results. The identified research studies present more mixed results and show that several factors such as the engineering designer’s experience and motivation dramatically influence the outcome, at least as much as methodology. Both proponents and opponents of the systematic engineering design methodology seem to agree that the systematic methodology used flexibly is more effective, but guidance on how to use the methodology in this way is required.
