The object of the study is the enterprises which are selling water heaters established in Kaunas city. The main argument of the study was that these enterprises do not have clearly delineated, prepared after methodological concepts new product entry to the market matrix, that the enterprises do not possess proper assessment criteria for the new product entry to the market success measurement. The author of the study has made a theoretical analysis of the papers and presented the new product entry to the market scientific approaches. It is estimated the new product entry to the market models proposed by the number of scientists in various papers and studies. The empirical research was held in 2005-2006 study years. 10 enterprises took part into the research. According to the research data and theory analysis the author formulated a new product entry to the market model that Lithuanian enterprises can use in their practice.

This thesis covers an introduction to the present conditions for newspaper publishing, definitions and analyses of the processes of newspaper production and distribution, expected future developments with respect to products and production processes, and finally, conclusions regarding the need for global coordination of products, production and distribution. Primarily, the conditions in the Nordic countries have been analysed. Particular attention has been drawn to Swedish morning newspapers with a circulation exceeding about 50 000 copies per publishing day. The study has been carried out mainly through literature research, through case studies using the SDA-method, and through acquisition and analyses of production data from the case studies. In addition, interviews and questionnaires have been used. A modern newspaper printing plant requires heavy investments. The number of newspaper printing plants is decreasing, but he number of newspaper titles printed in each plant increases. The flexibility in and utilisation of the remaining plants increases as well as the complexity and variety of the products handled. In all case studies of newspaper production, the companies use fixed production and distribution plans, following the same timetable from day to day. Delayed press starts, deviations from the calculated production speed, and interruptions during the production immediately cause disturbances in the distribution, delay costs, and goodwill losses. The time needed to produce a fixed number of copies varies within a wide range. Days of more complex production in the production plants meet with problems more often.

Aus der Einleitung: "Produktentwicklung und Fertigungsplanung innovativer komplexer technischer Produkte sind heute ohne massiven Rechnereinsatz gar nicht mehr möglich: Produkteigenschaften wie Funktion, Fertigung, Montage, Bedienbarkeit, dynamisches Verhalten, Reaktion auf Störgrößen, Ästhetik, Instandhaltung bis Recycling sollten möglichst früh im Entwicklungsprozess durch virtuelle Prototypen technischer Produkte und Verfahren beschrieben und abgesichert werden (Höhne 2009)."

This thesis work is based on the previous researches in design automation at Sandvik Coromant. The concept of product family description (PFD) has been introduced to the company to improve documentation of knowledge in engineering design process. Current documentation at the company for engineering design covers mostly the design definition part of the knowledge. PFD is constituted by design definition and completed by design rationale. This kind of documentation improves reusing, revising and expanding the knowledge at the company. On the other side, PFD is an input for design programming and a good engineering design description for a product provides more efficiency in design programming. The project is started by a survey for several principles and applications for knowledge modelling. Product variant master (PVM) and Semantic MediaWiki are selected by the results of the survey. To show the concept of PVM, modelling of a test product is done in product model manager (PMM) software. The main part of the project is setting up product family description (PFD) by capturing design rationale for the test product, implementing in Semantic MediaWiki. Since the design rationale is not documented, it was recorded during several meetings with the designer of the test product. The description is completed by including the argumentations about the rules, figures, dimensions and etc. Also in the project has been tried to improve and revise the description to make it more simple and efficient. Another objective of the project is to show Semantic MediaWiki as a candidate application for modelling knowledge at the company. In this step the applicability and functionality of both PFD and Semantic MediaWiki is seen. In the next stage the project findings and company documentation are evaluated. In this step has been tried to show the pros and cons of the project. The emphasis of the evaluation is on PFD and the alternative application. In the end a conclusion of the whole methods and findings of the project comes with discussion with people who were involved in this work.

Les systèmes mécatroniques sont caractérisés par la combinaison synergique de la mécanique, de l'électronique et de l'informatique en temps réel. Ils possèdent leur propre cycle de vie et doivent associer des expertises métiers et des technologies très variées, ce qui rend leur conception plus complexe et nécessairement plus intégrée. Afin de mettre en œuvre une approche permettant d’assurer une meilleure intégration fonctionnelle et spatiale des systèmes mécatroniques, et plus particulièrement sur l’axe développement de produit en assurant une meilleure combinaison des expertises métier, deux types de problématiques doivent être surmontés. La première problématique a trait aux données de conception alors que la seconde est relative aux processus. La contribution de nos travaux de thèse s’appuie sur deux concepts complémentaires. Le premier, un modèle d’interfaces multidisciplinaires, est proposé pour répondre à la problématique relative aux données de conception. Ces interfaces s’appuient sur l’architecture du système et précisent quels transferts existent entre les composants conçus par les différentes disciplines. Instanciées dans le modèle de données, les interfaces multidisciplinaires permettent d’échanger et de partager les informations entre les différentes disciplines. Le second concept concerne la méthode de conception basée sur le modèle d’interfaces multidisciplinaires. Cette méthode est définie pour pouvoir établir le processus d’ingénierie et permettre une meilleure intégration des expertises métiers tout au long de la conception des systèmes mécatroniques. Enfin, les deux propositions sont implémentées par l’intermédiaire d’un démonstrateur basé sur 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Un système de mesure 3D, combinaison synergique de la mécanique, de l'électronique, de l'informatique et l’optique, est utilisé afin de démontrer et de valider les contributions par nos travaux en termes d'intégration multidisciplinaire des expertises métier lors de la conception des systèmes mécatroniques. / Mechatronic system is considered as a synergetic combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and computer engineering. Such mechatronic system has its own lifecycle and should integrate different disciplines and various technologies. Therefore the design of mechatronic systems becomes increasing complex. In order to propose an approach to achieve a better functional and spatial integration of mechatronic systems, especially to achieve a higher integration of different disciplines during the design process of mechatronic systems, two kinds of problems must be overcome. The first problem is related to design data of mechatronic systems while the second is related to the design process. The contribution of the thesis is based on two complementary concepts. The first contribution, the multi-disciplinary interface model, is proposed to address the issue of design data. These interfaces are based on the system architecture and specify which transfers exist between components designed by the project teams of different disciplines. Instantiated in the data model, multi-disciplinary interfaces enables a better data exchange and sharing among the engineers of different disciplines. The second concept concerns the design method based on the multi-disciplinary interface model. This method is proposed to establish the process for mechatronic engineering in order to achieve a better multi-disciplinary integration for the design of mechatronic systems. Finally, the two propositions are then implemented in a demonstrator developed based on 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. A 3D measurement system, considered as a synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering and optical engineering, is used to demonstrate and validate the propositions of the thesis in terms of multi-disciplinary integration for the design of mechatronic systems.

This thesis addresses the problem of achieving better convergence between different phases (here design and manufacturing) of the product development cycle. The use of liaison has been proposed to better integrate the product and assembly process. Two facets of integration have been addressed in this thesis. One is concurrent evolution of the process model with the product model and the second is associativity between product model and process model. A liaison data structure has been proposed, which is set of geometric entities, associated with one or more assembly process that acts as an interface between the product model and process model. As the liaison data is not available explicitly in the product model, a set of algorithms have been developed and implemented to identify and extract the geometric entities defined in the liaison data structure from assembly model. The proposed algorithms can identify and extract liaisons for riveting, welding, bolt fastening, screw fastening, adhesive bonding (gluing) and blind fastening. The developed algorithms have been implemented and tested. The process model needs to evolve with the product model concurrently so that any mistakes or infeasibility in the process model can be flagged right away. The use of liaison enables the construction of process model as the product model is fleshed out. A framework based on liaison has been proposed and implemented to demonstrate the concurrent evolution of product and process model. Linking the changes in the product model to flag the changes (or at least identify the need for changes) in the process model forms the associativity problem. The liaison has been used for maintaining associativity between the product and process model. A framework has been proposed for maintaining associativity between product model and process model that makes use of expert knowledge or tribal knowledge to track impact of changes in product model or process model. An aircraft wing box has been used as an example to illustrate and validate the proposed approaches. Finally the thesis concludes by summarizing contributions of the research and outlining future work.

La conception de produits a pour objectif de définir techniquement un produit en satisfaisant les besoins de l'ensemble des clients du cycle de vie du produit. Les enjeux industriels conduisent à développer des modèles et des outils d'aide à la conception afin de répondre aux besoins clients tout en optimisant le triptyque coût-qualité délais. L'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer une vision globale permettant d'appréhender les différents types de modélisation. Pour atteindre cet objectif, une analyse globale de ces notions est nécessaire afin d'obtenir une représentation commune du système pour les différentes activités de conception et de simulation. L'intérêt de cette approche est de pouvoir mettre en évidence les dépendances et les relations entre ces activités. Cette approche doit permettre d'appréhender les différents niveaux de détails (systémique) lors de la décomposition fonctionnelle et structurelle du produit. Elle doit également permettre de suivre l'élaboration des modèles physiques pour la simulation. Nous proposons une traçabilité du processus de conception et du processus de modélisation permettant de remettre en cause, le cas échéant, les choix de conception et les hypothèses de modélisation. Ce travail est fondé sur des concepts de GeoSpelling comme le " skin modèle ", les opérations et les propriétés. Ils sont enrichis d'autres concepts comme les modèles finis et infinis et les modèles primitif et de simulation. / Product design aims to technically define a product satisfying the needs of all customers during the product life cycle. Industrial issues lead to develop models and tools supporting design to meet customer needs and contributing to costs-quality-and time optimisation. The objective of this thesis is to propose an overall vision making it possible to apprehend the various types of modeling. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive analysis of these concepts is necessary in order to obtain a common representation of the system for the various activities of design and simulation. The advantage of this approach is to highlight the dependencies and relationships among those activities. This approach should allow to apprehend the various levels of detail (systemic) during the functional and structural decomposition activity. It should also enable to monitor the development of the physical models for the simulation. We propose a traceability of the design process and of the modeling process allowing to review as appropriate the design choices and the modeling assumptions. This work is based on concepts of GeoSpelling as the "skin model", the operations and the properties. They are complemented by other concepts as the finite and infinite models and the primitive and simulation models.
