  • A PLM tools taxonomy to support Product realization process: A solar racing car case study
    Product Realization: A Comprehensive Approach, 2009
    Co-Authors: David A. Guerra-zubiaga, E. D. Ramòn-raygoza, E. F. Rios-soltero, Mileta Tomovic, Alberto Molina
    Abstract:

    Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) is a wide research issue exploring the information and knowledge in the entire Product lifecycle to improve and increase innovation for a given Product. The management of the information and knowledge related to the whole life cycle is supported by different Knowledge Management tools such as Product Data Management (PDM) and Expert Systems. PLM receives support from PDM systems in the many activities of the lifecycle from Product design and creation, through dissemination and after sales services, up to Product dismissal and recycling. Besides PDM systems, there are other knowledge management tools which haven't been integrated into the PLM. A particular shortcoming to integrate tools and techniques for the design process within a PLM environment is the lack of a PLM tools taxonomy. This paper presents a new PLM tools taxonomy to support Product Realisation process © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

  • risk management of cyclically recurring project activities of Product Realisation
    Journal of Integrated Design & Process Science archive, 2014
    Co-Authors: Tomaž Berlec, Marko Starbek, Jožef Duhovnik, Janez Kusar
    Abstract:

    An extended risk-analysis procedure for new Product/service Realisation projects is presented in this paper. The usual risk analysis of project activities is based on evaluation of the probability that risk events occur and on evaluation of their consequences. Product/process Realisation projects are cyclically recurring, so the third parameter has been added in the proposed procedure: an estimate of the incidence of risk events. On the basis of the calculated activity risk level in a three-dimensional risk analysis, a project team prepares preventive and corrective measures that should be taken according to the status indicators. An important advantage of the proposed solution is that the project manager and team members also take into account the recurring risk events in risk management. By successive elimination of sources of recurring risk events, the three-dimensional risk analysis of project activities can be transformed to the well-known two-dimensional risk analysis. A template was created in the MS project environment. The project team used the template for testing the proposed methodology in a case study of Realisation of a die-cast tool for manufacturing a car component.

  • Concurrent Realisation and quality assurance of Products in the automotive industry
    Concurrent Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: J. Ku ar, Lidija Rihar, Jože Duhovnik, Marko Starbek
    Abstract:

    The aim of the concurrent Product Realisation and quality assurance of Products is to shorten the Realisation time, reduce Realisation costs, increase the quality of Products and thus increase customer satisfaction. In a case study of a project of the concurrent Realisation of Products (components for the automotive industry), it is shown how the requirements of quality standards for the automotive industry can be integrated in processes of the concurrent Product Realisation project, based on track-and-loop principle and three strategies: parallelness, standardisation and integration. This article gives an overview of quality-related standards in the automotive industry, the principles of sequential and concurrent Product Realisation and the course of concurrent Product Realisation and quality assurance of Products in the automotive industry. Five loops of concurrent Product Realisation processes are defined for the automotive industry, as well as seven milestones of advanced Product quality planning. A course of concurrent Realisation and quality assur- ance of Products in the automotive industry is shown in the case of the concurrent Realisation of a car component.

  • teamwork in the simultaneous Product Realisation
    Strojniski Vestnik-journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lidija Rihar, Janez Kusar, Stane Gorenc, Marko Starbek
    Abstract:

    The paper presents transition from sequential to simultaneous Product Realisation. Such a transition is not possible without prior well-organised teamwork or virtual teamwork. The article demonstrates a two-level team structure for simultaneous Product Realisation with a core team on the first level and several project teams of simultaneous Product Realisation loops on the second level and process for forming team or virtual team. Track and loop process and well-organised teamwork or virtual teamwork of core team and project teams of simultaneous Product Realisation loops allows the savings in time and costs achieved by a transition from sequential to simultaneous Product Realisation. The results of organising teamwork and virtual teamwork are shown on a case study of simultaneous Realisation of component for automotive industry.

  • Team Building for Implementation of Concurrent Engineering Loops
    New Technologies - Trends Innovations and Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lidija Rihar, Janez Kusar, Tomaž Berlec, Marko Starbek
    Abstract:

    The essence of modern Production is to make a Product that a customer needs, as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Under these conditions, only a company that can provide customers with the right Products, produced at the right time, at the right location, of required quality and at an acceptable price, can expect global market success. A Product that is not produced in accordance with the wishes and requirements of customers, which hits the market too late and/or is too expensive, will not survive competitive pressure (Kusar et al., 2007; Dickman, 2009). The customer should therefore participate in the process of concurrent Realisation of a Product as early as possible (Starbek et al., 2003; Kusar et al., 2004) He can participate by expressing his wishes and requirements regarding project definition. The customer should be a temporary member of project teams in concurrent Product Realisation loops.

  • Industrial undergraduate project-remote monitoring for screw compressors
    DS 69: Proceedings of E and PDE 2011, the 13th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education, 2011
    Co-Authors: K Luckkana, H Raipancholi, I Yola, A Dhunput, Variza Negi, V. Patel, Asja Kovacevic
    Abstract:

    European Global Product Realisation (EGPR) is an undergraduate group design project for the final year engineering students at City University, London. It involves collaborating with students from five different European Universities on a commercial design project for an industrial partner. The aim of the project is to equip students with the necessary skills to solve real multidisciplinary design problems, using a systematic and structured engineering design process. In order to acquaint the students with the engineering design process, a preparatory project was set up between a UK based manufacturer of screw compressors and the students at City University, London, prior to the main EGPR project. The task was to develop a concept for a remote monitoring system to be integrated into a screw compressor produced by Howden Compressors Ltd, with the aim of gathering operational parameters including power and mass flow rate. During the project, the students were required to use their existing engineering experience in order to find a niche area for their contribution in the design of this complex multidisciplinary system. This required close collaboration with the industrial partner to develop a common vision and approach. The students gradually realised that the concepts of physical sensing and performance calculating functions were the areas where the industrial partner was struggling and it was mutually agreed for students to concentrate on this area. This paper describes achieved concepts including brief overview of techniques used in the process. It also outlines benefits that the University, industrial partner and students found through this collaboration.

  • Development of a modular screw compressor concept through EGPR course
    Institution of Mechanical Engineers - International Conference on Compressors and their Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: L. Machado, G. Ondoa, M Hashi, Rajni Gaind, Erwin Ricky Gowree, Asja Kovacevic
    Abstract:

    The European Global Product Realisation (EGPR) course is an undergraduate project designed to educate students in the development of global Products by distributed design teams in real life engineering situations. In order to prepare students from City University for such an activity, a small project was set up between a UK based manufacturer of screw compressors and students from City University. The task was to carry out a conceptual design of a small screw machine to be used as a compressor in refrigeration and natural gas compression as well as an expander in small Organic Rankine Cycle power generation systems. The design group consisted of five undergraduate students in the final year of their study. The group was supported and advised by an academic. It was the first opportunity for these students to follow a design procedure in a project with a commercial company, involving the development of concept variants. The results led to a novel idea of a modular design of screw machine which could achieve optimal performance while keeping both investment and running costs low. This paper written by the students describes the design methodology used in their self managed team and the experience they obtained from their first work for industry. © City University London, 2009.

  • Product Lifecycle Management: 21st Century Paradigm for Product Realisation
    Decision Engineering, 2011
    Co-Authors: John Stark
    Abstract:

    Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a new paradigm for Product manufacturing, enables a company to manage its Products all the way across their lifecycles in the most effective way. It helps companies get Products to market faster, provide better support for their use, and manage end-of-life better. In today's highly competitive global markets, companies must meet the increasing demands of customers to rapidly and continually improve their Products and services. PLM meets these needs, extending and bringing together previously separate fields such as Computer Aided Design, Product Data Management, Sustainable Development, Enterprise Resource Planning, Life Cycle Analysis and Recycling. Product Lifecycle Management: 21st century Paradigm for Product Realisation explains the importance of PLM, from both the business and technical viewpoints, supported by examples showing how world-class engineering and manufacturing companies are implementing PLM successfully. The book: - introduces PLM, a unique holistic view of Product development, support, use and disposal for industry worldwide, based on experience with internationally renowned companies; - shows you how to take full advantage of PLM, how to prepare people to work in the PLM environment, how to choose the best solution for your situation; - provides deep understanding, nurturing the skills you will need to successfully implement PLM and achieve world-class Product development and support performance; and - gives access to a companion www site containing further material.
