| Previous course: 72152.72403 |
| Prerequisites: 41612 and Midway project in Engineering Design and Product Development |
| Preferred prerequisites: Students from non-mechanical fields are required to have synthesis competencies equivalent to 41612 and midway project |
| Aim: To understand life cycle and product life thinking. To understand the role of product design in fitting to product life systems and thus achieving sound product life perspectives. To demonstrate an ability in formulating specifications, synthesizing and evaluating design proposals related to given product life systems. To understand the tools and principles for life cycle design (DFX). |
Contents: The following aspects of life cycle design are considered:
· Life cycle, stakeholders, resource- and ecological specifications, life cycle-oriented quality, whole life costs.
· Product life systems, "the meeting", relational properties, the role of the human operator.
· Modelling of the product and the product life cycle, computer modelling.
· The score model, Integrated Product Development, Life Cycle Engineering, Concurrent Engineering.
· The importance of the product concept, explicit life phase concepts.
· Modelling of meetings, "universal virtues", simulation.
· Product modelling, Product Data Management, life cycle databases, design history, documentation.
· The structure and the content of the DFX-tools, the course of DFX.
The project aspect of the course will be carried out as an industry collaboration, with milestone meetings and presentations. |
