Fundamentals of product family architecture - Tseng, Mitchell M.; Jiao, Jianxin Recognizing the rationale of a product family architecture (PFA) with respect to design for mass customization (DFMC), this paper discusses the fundamental issues underlying a PFA, including product information modeling, structural implications of product families, functional variety versus technical variety, class-member relationships inherent in variety, modularity and commonality, PFA design spaces, and PFA composition.

2.
Modularizing Product Architectures Using Dendrograms - Hölttä, Katja; Tang, Victor; Seering, Warren Modularity also provides flexibility that enables product variations andtechnology development without changes to the overall design [2].

3.
Contextual effects of product line pricing - Ramaswami, Seshan Two important considerations in designing a product line are depth of the line, as represented by the lowest and highest price end-points, and naming of the members of the line (whether the same brand name is shared by all members of the line).

4.
Understanding Fire Fighting in New Product Development - Repenning, Nelson Despite documented benefits, the processes described in the new product development literature often prove difficult to follow in practice.

5.
A product typology based on ethnicity and acculturation - Hui, Michael K.; Laroche, Michel; Kim, Chankon A product typology is developed based on two ethnicity facets.

6.
A Systems Analysis and Design Tool for Product Design - Gall, Aimee In the past ten years, system decomposition has been used by product designers to analyze complex products.

7.
"Teoria espectral para fluxos 'skew-product' lineares em espaços de Banach" - Karina Schiabel Nesta dissertação estudamos o espectro dinâmico para fluxos 'skew-product' em um fibrado de Banach.

8.
A pragmatic approach to product costing based on standard time estimation - Jiao, Jianxin; Tseng, Mitchell M. In the preparatory stage, standard routings are first extracted from existing products.

9.
Consumer Product Labels, Child Labor and Educational Attainment - Brown, Drusilla K Child labor-free product labels are efficiency-enhancing when child welfare is a public good only if resources are generated to enhance the well-being of children.

10.
What exactly is Product Modularity? The answer depends on who you ask - Fixson, Sebastian K. 'Product modularity' has recently experienced a significant increase in interest in the academic literature.

11.
The Power of Integrality: Linkages between Product Architecture, Innovation, and Industry Structure - Fixson, Sebastian K.; Park, Jin-Kyu A substantial literature stream suggests that many products are becoming more modular overtime, and that this development is often associated with a change in industry structure towardshigher degrees of specialization.

12.
Economics of Materials Competition -Effects of Product Architecture Changes and the Level of Analysis - Fixson, Sebastian IntroductionCurrent state of materials competitionIn the past materials competition has often compared similar designs made fromdifferent materials.

13.
Life Cycle Analysis and Temporal Distributions of Emissions: Limitations of Product-Centered Emission Analyses - Field, Frank; Kirchain, Randolph; Clark, Joel Thefleet-centered analysis shows that the "crossover time" (i.e., the time required before the fueleconomy benefits of the lighter aluminum vehicle offset the energy-intensity of the processesused to manufacture the aluminum in the first place) can be dramatically longer than thatpredicted by conventional life cycle analyses.

14.
Analyzing Multiple Product Development Projects Based On Information and Resource Constraints - Yassine, Ali; Browning, Tyson Product development (PD) and engineering design processes are often characterized by theinformation flowing among activities.

15.
Product Development Processes, Three Vectors Of Improvement - Holmes, Maurice; Ronald, Campbell Improving product development processes along three key vectors leads to greatly improved business performance.

16.
Product Concept Metrics: a Preliminary Study Working Paper - Takala, Roope; Hölttä, Katja Metrics for product concept evaluation and screening is a relatively unstudied topic of product development.

17.
A System Architecture Approach to Global Product Development - Tripathy, Anshuman; Eppinger, Steven D. Recent advances in engineering collaboration tools and internet technology have enabled thedistribution of product development tasks to offshore sites and global outsourcing partners while stillmaintaining a tightly connected process.

18.
A Framework of Implementation of Collaborative Product Service in Virtual Enterprise - Ming, X.G.; Lu, Wen Feng To satisfy new market requirements, manufacturing industry has shifted from mass production that takes advantage of the scale of production, to quality management that optimizes the internal enterprise functions, to e-manufacturing era that leverage intellectual capital via collaborative innovation.

19.
A methodology of developing Product Family Architecture for mass customization - Jiao, Jianxin; Tseng, Mitchell M. Mass customization, aiming at delivering an increasing product variety that best serves customer needs while keeping mass production efficiency, has recently received numerous attention and popularity in industry and academia alike.
