Supporting conceptual design based on the function-behavior-state modeler

TL;DR: This paper proposes a computer tool to support functional design not only in the analytical phase but also in the synthetic phase, and the functional decomposition knowledge and physical features in the knowledge base of the modeler, and a subsystem Qualitative Process Abduction System (QPAS) play crucial roles.

Identifying controlling features of engineering design iteration

TL;DR: The work transformation matrix model developed in this paper is a powerful extension of the DSM method which can predict slow and rapid convergence of iteration within a project, and predict those coupled features of the design problem which will require many iterations to reach a technical solution.

Product architecture assessment: a tool to link product, process, and supply chain design decisions

TL;DR: A multi-dimensional framework that enables comprehensive product architecture assessments and builds on existing product characteristic concepts such as component commonality, product platforms, and product modularity is developed.

Towards a characterization of crowdsourcing practices

TL;DR: A typology of Crowdsourcing practices is proposed based on two criteria: the integrative or selective nature of the process and the type of tasks that are crowdsourced (simple, complex and creative tasks).

Product Cost Estimation: Technique Classification and Methodology Review

TL;DR: A detailed review of the state of the art in product cost estimation covering various techniques and methodologies developed over the years is provided in this paper, where qualitative and quantitative techniques are categorized into intuitive and analogical techniques, and the quantitative ones into parametric and analytical techniques.
