Abstract
Since modern production processes are multi-disciplinary, all relevant disciplines must be involved in product development in order to achieve good results. While established programs for design and simulation are successfully applied in preliminary and detail design, software support in the earlier design phases is poor. We summarise a variety of modelling approaches and analyse the application of general purpose modelling and model-based description languages within a step-wise iterative process model based on VDI-Guideline 2221 in the individual design phases. Our analysis is supported by an example application to the design of a bottling plant. We conclude that General Purpose Modelling and Model-Based Design Languages are useful methods for early product design and could facilitate multi-disciplinary modelling and simulation in a future product development process by thorough integration of different model views in a system model.
期刊介绍:
The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
