What is the next step in the road construction business? How do we create competitive advantage by redesigning the machines todays in use? These, and similar questions, have been addressed by the students of the Systems Engineering course that have presented their final project results in the morning of May 26th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Six groups of students have worked in parallel on the redesign of different models of asphalt rollers and have presented and discussed their innovative designs to a mixed audience of students, teachers and industrial representative from Atlas Copco. The Dynapac small and medium asphalt rollers by Atlas Copco have been the subjects of the redesign activity. The work has been facilitated by the use of the systems engineering methods at tools that the students have learned during the course.<\/p>\n The students have presented the new designs putting a particular emphasis on the value that they would generate for the customer, on the satisfaction of the needs from different stakeholders and on the impact of such innovations on the engineering characteristics of the current product. The presentations have also shown the analysis of the cost and the risk aspects to be taken into consideration when developing such innovations.<\/p>\n
