STRUCTURING AND CONTEXTUALIZING HISTORICAL DATA FOR DECISION MAKING IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2020
Abstract
It is important to be able to compare and evaluate different solutions early in development. This paper proposes a method for structuring historical data into a data model that can support the evaluation of new design concepts. The data is contextualized by linking it to a hierarchical decomposition of existing products. Two case studies were conducted to evaluate the value of using historical data when evaluating new concepts. The cases confirm that the proposed method is useful for evaluation of new concepts.
