A 15-year development path of actions towards an integrated management system: description, evaluation and safety effects within the process industry network in Finland

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a thorough description of the 15-year path towards a more integrated management system within the process industry and its service delivery network, where the main methods for R&D were gathering information, opinions and suggestions in the companies' benchmarking, trialling and implementing innovative improvements, evaluating and benchlearning.

An evaluation methodology for crowdsourced design

TL;DR: An experimental investigation into two different Crowdsourced design evaluation approaches; free evaluation and 'Crowdsourced Design Evaluation Criteria' (cDEC), which suggests that the cDEC approach produces design rankings that correlate strongly with the judgements of an "expert panel".

Physics-Based Reasoning in Conceptual Design Using a Formal Representation of Function Structure Graphs

TL;DR: This paper validates that a previously published formal representation of function structure graphs actually supports the reasoning that motivated its development in the first place, and shows that the representation can support postmodeling reasoning to check the modeled concepts against two universal principles of physics.
