  1. 1. Managing the fuzzy front end of product and process development : case studies of process firms

    Författare :Monika Kurkkio; Maria Elmqvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Redovisning och styrning; Accounting and Control;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses different aspects of how to manage product development and process development. Two research studies have been conducted, both within the process industry. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Architects and users in collaborative design

    Författare :Johanna Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Co-design; Participatory design; Facilitator; Architect; Users; Collaborative design; Front-end activities;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACTThe custom of involving users in building projects has increased over the last years, following a focus on the importance of front-end activities, both in practice and in academia. This thesis explores user participatory design and more specifically the co-design process from the architect’s point of view. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring affordability in concept generation for complex defence products

    Författare :Daniel Amann; Mats Magnusson; Ingrid Kihlander; Poul Kyvsgaard Hansen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affordability; complex product systems; concept generation; CoPS; defence; front end of innovation; innovation management; product development; tournament goods; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : National defence budgets face pressure from intergenerational escalating costs for complex defence products, such as fighter aircraft and submarines. These escalating costs originate from ever-increasing performance requirements due to the competitive nature of warfare. In combat, only winning is good enough. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The human side of idea screening

    Författare :Alexandre Sukhov; Peter Magnusson; Lars E. Olsson; Antti Sihvonen; Pascal Le Masson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; comprehension; front end of innovation; generativity; idea screening; mechanisms; mixed methods research; sensemaking; Business Administration; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : In extant research, idea screening has been viewed as a gate where ideas for innovations are evaluated and selected for further development. Given that organizations have limited resources, and cannot implement all of the ideas, idea screening acts as a bottleneck during the innovation process. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Extended Application of Robust Design Methodology

    Författare :Vanajah Siva Subramaniam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; practices; life cycle approach; Robust design methodology; back-end data; sustainable product development;

    Sammanfattning : Robust Design Methodology (RDM), a subset of Quality Management (QM), is an approach applied to the design phase of product development in order to manage variability in product performance by creating insensitivity to noise factors. Noise factors are sources of variation that cannot be readily controlled. LÄS MER
