The goal of this work is to practically determine the role of product architecture models to support communication for improving development practices of complex mechatronic products. This paper contains descriptions, observations, and lessons learned from case studies in which the authors tested a language to represent product architectures during product development in a company, as well as the reasons leading to the use of the specific language/model. The tests include construction of architecture models, direct use of the architecture information, model generation from the architecture model, reuse of architecture model information, clarification of existing documentation, and transition towards model-based product development. The work points out desired characteristics of product architecture models as well as characteristics of the necessary implementation tools and framework.

For a couple of years, the term entropy is gaining popularity as a term to cover the various dimensions of fast and rapidly developing, ‘uncontrollable’ business environment. The more complex and volatile an industry is – the higher is the level of entropy, that means - the harder to predict and therefore more uncertain will be process of new project or product implementation. In simple words, entropy as a measure of uncertainty or randomness, is permanently growing in nowadays business environment. In common use, A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.  Technique of prototyping becomes more efficient if analyzing of prototype occurs together with the potential consumer. Based on received feedback, or analyzing customer experience, lessons learned, company makes decision how to develop the product on the next phase. In Georgia, use of prototypes started with development of projects related to Information Systems. But later it was successfully applied to product development and Business model development, especially for startups and small entrepreneurs.

This paper describes the investigation of the industrial need in standardized products, the role of product architecture in modularization and a suitable product development process implementation. A comprehensive approach of implementing standardized product architecture for an industrial “brownfield development” and a methodology for redesigning existing modularization concepts are the main contents, as well as a detailed overview and assessment of existing modularization approaches in engineering science and industrial practice.

Product Development Performance (PDP) has an important role to achieve the competitive advantage of the company so that the managerial role is a major factor that can contribute to the success of product development. One of the important factors for understanding Product Development Performance is how a corporate applied the strategic corporate orientation optimally. Strategic orientation can be interpreted as a strategic direction that is determined to be applied by a company as a means of creating the right behaviour in achieving sustainable superior business performance. In this research, we focused in Entrepreneurial Orientation that has been developed in family businesses. Strategic orientation became an important antecedent in enhancing the development of product performance (PDP) because some researchers stated a deeper understanding related to the role of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) is needed especially in family businesses. The development of product performance is also supported by other factors, they are Network Capability and Environmental Dynamism. These findings explained that entrepreneurial orientation has a significant positive effect on product development performance when a company has adequate networking capability to manage environmental dynamics. Therefore, this study is focused on looking at the effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on Product Development Performance with Networking Capability and Environment Dynamic as moderating. The research approach taken is quantitative research, which used data presented in the form of numbers or numerical information. The population in this research is family businesses that are located in Java and Bali, Indonesia and the number is unknown. This study found that family businesses have entered the survival phase have a long-term entrepreneurial orientation, which means that they are able to manage opportunities innovatively by being more proactive in all conditions, and it has an effect on the performance of product/service development. The networking capability has opportunities as an antecedent that can affect the performance of product/service development while environmental dynamism is only a potential moderator.

The procedure, by which the functional and physical elements of a product are arranged, is known as the product architecture. It highlights the interaction between parts of product. It is a phase where the function of a product is assigned to its physical. The role of product architecture in a product development is very vital since a comprehensive choice of the product architecture provides a good idea on how the functions are understood and how a standardization is achieved. In this regard, this paper presents the following: the product schematic, product cluster, product geometry, and fundamental and incidental product elements interactions of a grease trap design.
