Towards an ‘ideal’ approach for concept generation

TL;DR: This paper proposes a convergent approach to concept generation that is divergent in which alternative concepts are generated, and convergent inWhich these are evaluated and selected.

Characterizing complex product architectures

TL;DR: Three methods for describing product architectures are developed: the Dependency Structure Matrix, Molecular Diagrams, and Visibility‐Dependency signature diagrams, which are suited for describing architectures of varying levels of complexity and detail.

Design verification and validation in product lifecycle

TL;DR: This paper reviews the standard definitions of verification and validation in the context of engineering design and progresses to provide a coherent analysis and classification of these activities from preliminary design, to design in the digital domain and the physical verification and validate of products and processes.

Development of product-service systems: challenges and opportunities for the manufacturing firm

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the rationale for the product-service development methods used in manufacturing firms, based on previous research in the product and service-development fields, and on empirical evidence.

Product modularization for life cycle engineering

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated modular design methodology for life cycle engineering is presented, which consists of three phases: problem definition, interaction analysis and module formation, which identifies the factors related to the design objectives, relates these factors to design components through interaction analysis, and clusters components into modules.
