Engineering change is an important and complex activity for manufacturing enterprises. In order to improve the efficiency of engineering change, designers should pay different attentions to different nodes of product development network. In that case, a method of classifying the nodes was proposed. First, we proposed a method to cluster the nodes based on design structure matrix; then, we analyzed the indexes for evaluating the importance of nodes and studied the method of classifying the nodes of product development network; finally, the experiment of managing a type of motorcycle engine was employed to validate our method and it showed the correctness of the proposed method.

Change Requests

The problem at hand is that vast amount of data on industrial changes is captured and stored; yet the present challenge is to systematically retrieve and use them in a purposeful way. This paper presents an industrial case study where complex product development processes are modeled using the design structure matrix (DSM) to analyze engineering change requests sequences. Engineering change requests are documents used to initiate a change process to enhance a product. Due to the amount of changes made in different projects, engineers want to be able to analyze these change processes to identify patterns and propose the best practices. The previous work has not specifically explored modeling engineering change requests in a DSM to holistically analyze sequences. This case study analyzes engineering change request sequences from four recent industrial product development projects and compares patterns among them. In the end, this research can help to identify and guide process improvement work within projects.

Due to shortcomings existing in traditional overlapping model, a new extending activity overlapping model based on design structure matrix considering rework and iteration during activities execution is proposed in this article. Firstly, a tradional overlapping model presented by others is introduced. Sencondly, it is expanded to apply to more general situations using design structure matrix. Subsequently, an example deriving from a certain product development process is used in order to illustrate its effeciency and effectiness

Abstract This model estimates the probability of completing a product development process over time. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) framework is used to capture the information dependencies between tasks using the concepts of Probability of Change and Impact. The model incorporates a stochastic element that represents the likelihood of changes resulting in task iterations. The model captures the dynamic behavior of a product development process formed by a combination of parallel, serial and coupled tasks. The model relaxes the assumption that coupled tasks take place in a complete parallel or serial iteration. It can be used to compare the development time of the project for different task sequences and overlapping degrees. This tool allows for identification of the leverage points in the system, providing information about the most effective way to reduce development time. This project was a joint effort with a Hewlett-Packard division, and the observations and practical application presented are based on this field experience.
