Design determines the majority of the costs of a product. The design of technical solutions, however, is a largely creative process whose outcome depends heavily on the talent and the experience of the designer. The great responsibility with respect to product quality and cost are thus at the same time diametrically opposed in terms of the ability to sufficiently influence them.

Systematic design offers effective support in the product development process. It describes the basis for methodical development and design of technical systems and their elements.
These methods are used daily in the field of systematic design for new and further development of products and are therefore continuously validated, optimized and extended. Beyond mere computer support, this involves the latest technologies such as additive manufacturing and data mining.

Topics:

  • Requirements management
  • Systematic innovation
  • Product identity and design
  • Prototyping and additive manufacturing
  • Variant management
