Aim: The information and communication technology (ICT), including the possibilities of trade and communicataon via the Internet (cf. B2C and B2B), makes it possible to carry out a number of very significant improvements of the functions within companies which relate to technical sales, configuration of products and / or service activities, preparation of the basis for production, price calculation etc. The course aims at enabling the students to meet the challenges that companies face within the area of ICT and the corresponding globalisation, that is:
1. The positioning of a company within a network with other companies (suppliers / customers) which cooperate on sales, development and delivery of a product / service.
2. Analyse and redesign business processes related to the specification of products, including the choice of the right degree of ICT support for the individual sub processes.
3. Specify intelligent ICT systems which can support the specification task. |
Contents: The subjects treated will be the following:
- The technical and managerial side of the system development.
- Enterprise Engineering (EE) techniques, methods and procedures (function modelling, information and knowledge modelling (including object oriented modelling), and an overview of and use of other EE methods and techniques such as prototyping).
- Framework models for company descriptions, including a framework model for virtural enterprises based on GERAM (ISO / DIS 15704).
- The work preparation theory and methods, including a review of different knowledge production forms.
- A procedure for the development of specification systems.
- Procedures for analysing and constructing systems (often called product model systems) for the support of the engineering tasks of the company relating to the specification of products and services.
- Business and organisational consequences of the formalizing of engineering knowledge, including the perspectives of the exchange of engineering knowledge between companies cooperating on product development, production and marketing (virtual enterprises).
- An overview of relevant standard systems and criteria for the choice of standard systems.
- Standardization within this area, including STEP (ISO 10303).
The course comprises 3 compulsory group works concerning:
- The construction of a function and information model (IDEFO and IDEF1).
- The construction of a specification system including the development of a business process, the choice of ICT support and an general functional specification of the ICT systems that are to support the specification task.
- The construction of a product model. The exercice includes an analysis and specification of a product model by using among other things object oriented modelling, but not programming.
In addition to this there will be short exercices for the learning of general methods and procedures. |
| Remarks: The course is aimed at product managers, R&D managers and production managers who, irrespective of the line of business they are in, are responsible for or participate in the overall development of the company production seen as a whole, that is, including market considerations, specialisation, outsourcing, and competence network, total life cycle support such as embedded services or remote support, etc. |
