Balancing Properties While Synthesising a Product Concept - a Method Highlighting Synergies

摘要: Balancing, here, refers to the management of properties a product concept in order provide user value cost-efficient way. In industrial development, balancing and performance/cost ratio is challenging task. Indeed, daily work practice can be seen as central for stepwise development balanced solution. At same time, many decisions are made at detail level, with limited consideration overall solutions ratio. For instance, sub-systems or component developed - changed considering only their isolated context, thus not interrelationships an context. Consequently, there evident risk that sub-solutions interaction may produce property conflicts generally poor balance. Specifically, late changes often aimed cut costs adjust offer, result solution still holding features performance levels utilised (which cost-effective).
