Modeling innovativeness in consumer products with the influence of environmental sustainability

Creator:: Gilchrist, Brady
Abstract:: This thesis is the result of two research publications, which together form a framework for the evaluation of product innovativeness with potential future applications to early design. Innovation is a challenging concept to quantify. Experts seemingly have a grasp of what innovation is when they see it, however this evaluation...

Defining and comparing risks and success measures of the reference design process and traditional new product development processes

Creator:: Larson, Tasha M.
Abstract:: To address aggressive global competition, retain customers and increase revenue, firms are required to pursue New Product Development (NPD) projects. Ventures of this nature are risky and fail often. Numerous factors influence the survival of a project. In this research, 16 factors have been identified and selected as indicators of...

A study of the application of lean practices to new product development processes

Creator:: Choothian, Woraruthai
Abstract:: The application of lean to new product development (NPD) processes has been claimed to generate positive impact on NPD performance. There are very few empirical studies, however, on how organizations should apply lean practices or on the exact nature of the impact of lean on NPD performance. To further understand...

Environmentally Sustainable Product Design : Understanding the Environmental Impact of Product Function and Product Labeling

Creator:: Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
Abstract:: Using repositories to store product design information can provide additional and extensive design knowledge to the global design community. Using repository data in the design of new products can be especially impactful for DfX design objectives, such as product sustainability, about which many engineering designers have limited knowledge. Furthermore, repositories...

Data-Driven Environmentally Sustainable Product Design: A Shift Toward Increased use of Sustainable Design Activities in the Early Design Phase

Creator:: Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
Abstract:: Modern product design drives the boundaries of innovation by encompassing complex Design-for-X objectives, and the inclusion of multidimensional stakeholders. This growing complexity in product design has left design teams unequipped, as classical design theory is bounded by designer experience, expertise, and cognition. One novel approach to tackling product complexity is...

Enterprise system implementation projects : a study of the impact of contextual factors on critical success factors

Creator:: Van Scoter, Diane J.
Abstract:: Critical success factors (CSFs) are those things that must be done correctly for a project to be successful; however, CSFs are not sufficient by themselves to guarantee success. CSFs, as identified in the literature, vary from study to study. In addition, previous studies have not typically included contextual details for...

Using Automation to Understand Sustainable Design Trade-Offs and to Promote Environmental Sustainability in the Early Design Phase

Creator:: Wisthoff, Addison K.
Abstract:: Sustainable product design is becoming an important component of the development of consumer products. Currently there are limited design resources to aid in the creation of environmentally sustainable products. The purpose of this research is to theorize a new method for integrating sustainable design knowledge into the early design phase...

Framework and Method for Designing Complementarist Interventions to Systemically Address Management Challenges in Small Organizations

Creator:: Moore, Bradley
Abstract:: Small organizations may face several management challenges, such as developing non-centralized management structures, knowledge retention in rapid turnover environments, complex operations, and diverse stakeholder requirements. Many methodologies exist to address such management challenges, including viable system model, knowledge management, and Toyota production system, or lean manufacturing. Each of these methodologies...

Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

Creator:: Poppa, Kerry R.
Abstract:: A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentation to the user. In general, results are an undifferentiated mass of potential solutions. Analysis...
