Abstract

This paper presents an approach to improve understanding regarding the current application of product models and design methods within a company's mechatronic product design process. The method consists of five steps, where information is acquired in interviews, analyzed regarding current state of understanding and application, immediate measures are derived and further measures are planned in a roadmapping approach. The approach has been developed with and partially evaluated in a case study in a german plant engineering company, focusing on the acquisition phase and implementation of immediate measures.
