This paper presents a model describing sequential iteration, one of the fundamental solution processes experienced in complex engineering design projects. The model is based upon the design structure matrix representation and assumes that each individual design activity is of deterministic...

We examine, in a strategic setting, the broad issue of how retail channel structures--retail monopoly versus retail duopoly--impact a manufacturer's optimal new product design, both in terms of engineering design specifications as well as manufacturer and retailer profits. Our strategic...

Рассматривается компетентностный подход к мотивации деятельности инженеров-разработчиков на основе анализа процесса инженерного проектирования, исследуются...

Engineering design problems are usually formulated as non-linear problems with integer, discrete or continuous variables. This paper presents a new interactive procedure to handle these kinds of problems. This procedure is based on the interactive goal programming model and the concept of...

Engineering design is a process of generating a design solution satisfying customers’ various requirements. As the design proceeds, more and more parameters are introduced to define the design solution. As more design parameters come into design consideration, designers face increasing...

Engineering design often involves a very complex set of relationships among a large number of coupled problems. It is this complex coupling that leads to iteration among the various engineering tasks in a large project. The design structure matrix (DSM) is useful in identifying where iteration...

As virtual teamwork in engineering becomes more central to the daily design activities of organizations around the world, it is increasingly important for team members to be able to easily and effectively share their visual ideas with remote teammates. However, sharing visual representations of...

Sanderson [1] examined the theoretical basis for and the experimentation supporting the predictive smoke zone models currently being used in fire engineering design that are cited, in nationally and internationally accepted guidance documents, to support the increasing use of performance-based...

In this article, we are interested in managing engineering design of ad hoc wireless network. We have to design topology of such networks to guarantee all nodes cover. So, spanning tree concept is applied to design and optimise the tree with the constraint of the degree (d-MSTP) of the...

Целью статьи является разработка метода установления структуры инжиниринговых платежей при реализации инжинирингового проекта, основанного на эффективном...
