ABSTRACT Manufacturing companies are increasingly moving toward delivering combinations of products and services to provide higher value to their customers. The development of such Product Service Systems (PSS) escalates in complexity when several products developed by different suppliers need to be integrated into a unique system. For first tier suppliers, it is a great challenge […]

Data Visualization in Conceptual Design: Developing a Prototype to Support Decision Making

ABSTRACT In recent years, data visualization has received a lot of attention and widely applicate in many areas. Data is a treasure, a lot of valuable information hidden inside. While visualizing the hidden information concisely and intuitively is a critical task. In this paper, we explore how data visualization could support conceptual design. A specific […]

The decision theater, transforming data into knowledge in conceptual design

One success factor in engineering design is the ability to make effective and risk-managed decisions in a timely manner. Rarely is a single person sufficient to resolve today’s complex, connected issues. Rather, a group of stakeholders possessing required expert knowledge needs to be enrolled as these issues normally requires a wide variety of expert competences, […]

On knowledge maturity and biased nature of staged decision making in a high consequence industry

10:38AM May 25, 2018
No Comment

ABSTRACT This paper explores and problematizes decision-making in a high-consequence industry which is characterized by the stage-gate process. We showcase that decision-makers do not differentiate between the types of knowledge used for modelling decisions and calculation of risks. This makes them susceptible to incorporating cognitive distortions—biases—into the stage-gate process. We conclude by amending the risk […]
