Abstract [en]

Product development is multidisciplinary with high uncertainties necessitating coordinated decision-making between design and production. This paper presents a method to work with production requirements to support production preparation during product development aligned with different product and production maturities. The work was conducted in collaboration with two global manufacturing firms. The method supports identification, definition, and structuring of production requirements and the collaboration between design and production engineers for requirement prioritization and follow-up.

Abstract [en]

Product development and production operate in a shifting landscape of regulations, technologies, customer needs, high product complexity and variety. While product development and production drive prosperity, they also generate waste, consume energy and materials, and contribute to negative sustainability impacts. Manufacturing firms, therefore, need proactive strategies and means to consider producibility and sustainability without sacrificing profitability. Realising these requires co‑development of product and production, with design engineers understanding production capabilities. To align stakeholders and steer both product development and production towards competitiveness and sustainability, the deployment of requirements is critical. This thesis aims to develop an understanding of and support for integrating production and sustainability requirements for product and production co-development. The work was carried out in two descriptive and prescriptive iterations using the design research methodology framework. The first iteration focused on production requirements and the second on sustainability requirements. Seven studies, published as seven papers, were conducted using methods such as literature reviews, interviews, observations, document studies and workshops. These studies showed that production and sustainability requirements are usually embedded in the product development process and supported by a large variety of methods and tools. However, most methods focused on design engineers, provided less support for production engineers, and relied on individual knowledge. Two methods were developed to address this and support co-development – one for production requirements and the other for sustainability requirements. These methods are complementary, as there is an overlap between production and sustainability requirements for co-development. In addition, this thesis contributes by presenting a systematic process for working with both sets of requirements, thus supporting production engineers in their requirement specification by providing collaboration mechanisms and process models for integrating sustainability with technical and business criteria.

Abstract [sv]

Produktutveckling och produktion sker i ett föränderligt landskap av regleringar, teknologier, kundbehov samt hög produktkomplexitet och produktvariation. Samtidigt som produktutveckling och produktion driver välstånd, genereras det också avfall, förbrukas energi och material samt bidrag till negativa hållbarhetseffekter. Tillverkningsföretag behöver därför proaktiva strategier och metoder för att beakta både producerbarhet och hållbarhet utan att ge avkall på lönsamhet. Att realisera detta kräver samordnad utveckling av produkter och produktion, där konstruktörer förstår de faktiska produktionsförhållandena. För att samordna intressenter och styra både produktutveckling och produktion mot konkurrenskraft och hållbarhet är systematisk användning av krav avgörande. Denna avhandling syftar till att utveckla förståelse för och stöd till integration av produktions- och hållbarhetskrav vid samordnad utveckling av produkter och produktion. Arbetet genomfördes i två deskriptiva och preskriptiva iterationer med stöd av Design Research Methodology. Första iterationen fokuserade på produktionskrav och andra på hållbarhetskrav. Sju studier, publicerade som artiklar, genomfördes med stöd av olika metoder såsom litteraturöversikter, intervjuer, observationer, dokumentstudier och workshops. Studierna visade att både produktionskrav och hållbarhetskrav vanligtvis är inkluderade i produktutvecklingsprocessen och stöds av ett stort antal metoder och verktyg. De flesta metoder fokuserade dock på konstruktörer och gav mindre stöd till produktionsingenjörer samt var beroende av individuell kunskap. För att överbrygga detta och stödja samordning utvecklades två metoder - en för produktionskrav och en för hållbarhetskrav. Det är ett överlapp mellan produktionskrav och hållbarhetskrav i samordnad utveckling och metoderna komplimenterar varandra. Dessutom bidrar avhandlingen med en systematisk process för att arbeta med båda kravmängderna, vilket stödjer produktionsingenjörer i deras arbete med krav genom att tillhandahålla samarbetsmekanismer och processmodeller för att integrera hållbarhet med tekniska och affärsmässiga kriterier.
