Komplexität und „Verschränktheit“ der Prozesse in Entwicklung und Produktion wachsen vielen Unternehmen über den Kopf. Der Durchblick geht verloren, die Kosten laufen davon. Das muss nicht so sein. Wie man der grassierenden Komplexität mit Methode zu Leibe rückt, zeigt dieses elektronische Buch. Denn darum geht es in der Praxis: Trotz vermeintlich intelligenter Systeme im Unternehmen den Überblick behalten und die Komplexität beherrschen. Mittel zum Zweck ist ein Assistenzsystem, das im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes entwickelt wurde und jetzt für den Einsatz bereitsteht. Damit das System nicht übergestülpt, sondern schrittweise erlernt und wirklich gelebt werden kann, wird ein flankierendes Konzept zur Befähigung präsentiert.

The lack of knowledge of artifact relationships causes problems, such as outdated documentation, lack of coordination with affected disciplines, or delayed changes. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) can clearly represent the elements and relationships of complex systems. This paper presents an assistance system for intuitive visualization of engineering change effects using existing DSM-based methods for complexity management. The implemented algorithms compute graph layouts, cluster analyses, and change predictions in the form of change risk, time, and cost. An application example of a 3D-printed intelligent lamp demonstrates the approach's viability.

The German research project FuPEP “Funktionsorientiertes Komplexitätsmanagement in allen Phasen der Produktentstehung” aims to address this issue by developing an assistance system that supports product developers by visualizing functional relationships. This paper presents the methodology and results of the assistance system’s requirements elicitation with two SMEs. Conducting the elicitation during a global pandemic, we discuss its application using specific techniques in light of COVID-19. We model problems and their effects regarding complexity management in product development in a system dynamics model. The most important requirements and use cases elicited are presented, and the requirements elicitation methodology and results are discussed. Additionally, we present a multilayer software architecture design of the assistance system. Our case study suggests a relationship between fear of a missing project focus among project participants and the restriction of requirements elicitation techniques to those possible via web conferencing tools.}}, author = {{Herrmann, Jan-Phillip and Imort, Sebastian and Trojanowski, Christoph and Deuter, Andreas}}, issn = {{2073-431X}}, journal = {{Computers}}, keywords = {{complexity management, assistance system, product development, systems engineering, design structure matrix, asset administration shell}}, number = {{11}}, title = {{{Requirements Elicitation for an Assistance System for Complexity Management in Product Development of SMEs during COVID-19: A Case Study}}}, doi = {{10.3390/computers10110149}}, volume = {{10}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{7781, abstract = {{Product lifecycle management (PLM) as a holistic process encompasses the idea generation for a product, its conception, and its production, as well as its operating phase.

PLM addresses the hardware lifecycle of a product, whereas ALM addresses the software lifecycle. In recent years, industry and academia have developed several PLM/ALM integration concepts to realize efficient management of the product lifecycle across all domains. However, the solutions available in practice are typically vendor-driven. Therefore, they are not generally applicable even if standards such as OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Cooperation) are applied. The consortium "Plattform Industrie 4.0" has recently introduced a standardized digital representation of an asset (e.g., a smart product): the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). The AAS has the potential to integrate PLM/ALM data sets in a single product model and hence to provide a generally applicable interface for PLM/ALM integration. However, until now there has not been a concept to prove this potential. The aim of this work is to develop such new strategies (named Plm4AAS) using AAS submodels. This article explains the semi-automatic generation of PLM/ALM submodels and how to link elements between these submodels. The AASX Package Explorer, an AAS management software tool, is used to demonstrate the results. The article finishes with a discussion about the potential of the AAS as a standardized concept for PLM/ALM integration. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
