Identify the strategic position of suppliers within a supply chain network
Behncke, F.G.H.; K // 2013
Manufacturing firms concentrate on their core competences, which increase the influence of the supply chain performance on their competitive position. Suppliers deliver the majority of a product’s ...
Identifying System Eigenvalues Using DSM-Uncertainty Principle Approach
El Behery, R. // 2013
Mapping system processes logic dependencies, cause/effect, into probability space enabled quantifying two conjugate variables: Value/Energy and Time. Possible system’s states and their uncertainty ...
Identifying uncertainties within structural complexity management
Kasperek, Daniel; Kohn, Andreas; Maurer, Maik // 2013
Structural complexity management (StCM) is an established methodology to manage complexity within engineering design. Complexity management is necessary if complexity for example due to shorter ...
Impact of a change of environment on autonomy and design exploration
Loudon, Gareth Hugh; Gill, Steve; Wilgeroth, Paul // 2013
This research explored how a change of physical and social environment might affect a product design studentâs ability to learn new design skills and to explore new design ideas. To do this, we ...
Impart âdesign for productionâ knowledge by application of functional prototyping
Leutenecker, Bastian; Meboldt, Mirko; Lohmeyer, Quentin // 2013
In engineering design the early consideration of âDesign for Productionâ aspects is of particular importance to avoid high costs and time efforts caused by late redesign iterations. In design ...
Implementing collaborative crowdsourcing in different design problems
Gabelloni, Donata; Montelisciani, Gabriele; Fantoni, Gualtiero // 2013
The new product development process increasingly involves multidisciplinary teams, that frequently do not belong to the same institution. Innovation often comes from external actors, as suppliers, ...
Implementing scenario to better address the use phase in product ecodesign
Domingo, Lucie; Brissaud, Daniel; Mathieux, Fabrice // 2013
Some product categories, like electro-domestics, generate most of their environmental impact during use phase. Yet, the integration of this product life-cycle stage has been a challenge for ...
Improved design methodology practice: successful matching of tasks and employees
Hinsch, Malte Sebastian; Heller, Jan Erik; Feldhusen, Jörg // 2013
Choosing the right employees for a given task has great influence on the quality of the results and the time needed. Executives who have to decide, which employees are best suited for a task, often ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
