Taking a look at the utilisation of function models in interdisciplinary design: insights from ten engineering companies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present research on function modelling in different disciplines in practice, which comprises empirical studies in ten companies developing mechatronic systems and/or Product-Service Systems in diverse market areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

A framework for designing robust supply chains considering product development issues

TL;DR: In this article, a product platform approach has been proposed which amalgamates the component modularity as well as the function modularity in the product design, and the optimisation model proposed for the product development and the supply chain design is based on a generic bill of materials (GBOM) representation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefits and limits of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem/Life Cycle Assessment approach for the ecodesign of complex systems: a case applied to a hybrid passenger ferry

TL;DR: Results show that the CSP/LCA approach has certain advantages, in particular for exploring the fields of possibilities, interpreting results and the time saving through reusing results obtained for similar systems.

Fuon theory: Standardizing functional units for product design

TL;DR: This paper introduces a systematic approach to define standardized functional units: the concept of fuons, an abstraction of a product based on its essential function and representing the whole set of products that share the parameters for this function's flows.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design of production systems with hybrid energy and water generation for sustainable value creation

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for generating sustainable value and achieving a competitive advantage in business ecosystems is proposed, which addresses both the key requirements of sustainable development and the preferences of stakeholders.
