  2. 1. Mechatronics engineering : New requirements on cross-functional integration

    Author : Niklas Adamsson; Margareta Norell Bergendahl; Eva Lovén; KTH; []
    Keywords : Mechatronics engineering; product development; multidisciplinary teamwork; organizational integration; cooperation; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Several industrial sectors experience an increased reliance on mechatronic systems as electronics and software are being embedded into the traditional mechanical systems of these industries. Important challenges within mechatronics engineering comes from management of multi-disciplinary development project teams and the highly complex scope of problems, which in turn require extensive coordination and integration, both in terms of technical and organisational matters.

    Author : Anna Moses; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; management; cross-functional; decision process; make or buy decision; design;

    Abstract : Cross-functional make or buy decision processes are strategic decision processes. The outcome of a make or buy decision affects competitive advantage, strategic development and leads to changes in internal and external relations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Implementing PLM Across Organisations - For multi-disciplinary and cross-functional product development

    Author : Trond Zimmerman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product development; cross-functional; multi-disciplinary; and commercial vehicle; PLM; information modelling; aftermarket; mechatronic;

    Abstract : Nearly all product development organisations and processes have information as their key deliverable. The immense quantities of information being produced and utilised along the development lifecycle together with the commonly large number of IT tools used highlights the importance of continuously keeping the content in the overall information management system in order.

    Abstract : Current research on knowledge integration offers valuable structural analyses of factors that influence knowledge integration, performance outcomes, and knowledge integration mechanisms. Less attention has been paid to how knowledge integration is carried out over time in cross-functional development projects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Tactical planning in engineer-to-order environments

    Author : Hafez Shurrab; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sales and operations planning; Operations planning and control; Tactical planning; Operations management; Cross-functional integration; Complexity; Case study; Engineer-to-order;

    Abstract : Tactical planning is implemented to balance customer demand and supply capacity within a medium-term and to avoid under- and overcapacity. In engineer-to-order (ETO) environments, under- and overcapacity lead firms to incur substantial costs that can easily wipe out profit margins. READ MORE
