Smart Product & Process Engineering Minds 2013

Smart Product & Process Engineering Minds 2013 is a conference that cover topics such as:

• Smart Systems Engineering & Requirements Engineering
  • Collaboration in product development processes and integration with PLM systems
  • Distribution of development projects in product modules and outsourcing of development projects for managing the increasing complexity of products
  • Change data - an integrative approach, consistent, structured and team-oriented process approach
  • Effective handling of design, product and
  • Lean Management and DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) for efficient product development
  • Early use of a cross-disciplinary requirements management in engineering (requirements engineering)
• Process management methods and models in engineering
  • Distributed development and production: challenges for systems & processes and agile handling in process development, engineering and production
  • Agile principles in the physical product - the adaptation of Scrum - agile development such as Apple, Google, Amazon: drivers, key factors that establish approaches / Merging Lean and Agile methods for developing "embedded systems"
  • Production-related competence development in industrial engineering and shortening the time track by concurrent engineering approaches
  • Continuous function modeling (CFM): Methods for technical complexity management
  • Innovative strategies and concerted process handling in development, engineering and production
• IT-based support integrated processes in product development, engineering & construction
  • Variability in product development and engineering in embedded and complex networked systems and control through product configurators / Rapid Data Generation for flexible manufacturing - challenge: data management and process chain in terms of variant management
  • Professional data and document management throughout the engineering of integration into the SAP system to ensure a continuous flow of information
  • Efficient embedding of the engineering process in the holistic view of the product lifecycle management
  • Product configuration and modularization for controlling complexity in the development
