Application Of Product Family Design For Engineered Systems In Changing Market Space, Mohit Goswami Jan 2008

Application Of Product Family Design For Engineered Systems In Changing Market Space, Mohit Goswami

Masters Theses

"The focus of this paper is on the design of an engineered system for a changing market space. Due to the dynamic nature of the customer requirements, the specification of product offerings in a particular market may change. Manufacturers need to strategically design their product portfolio in such a way that their profitability is maximized, while deploying the right number of platforms necessary for deriving product variants. Depending on the system architecture, subsystems can be classified into one of the two types: scalar subsystems and modular subsystems. Each subsystem is defined by various parameters, performance criteria, and physical compatibility constraints. …
