Economic-engineering design for logistics infrastructure routing

Design for Logistics in Set-based Concurrent Engineering Environment

Design for Logistics (DFL) and Set-based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) are two conventionally separated methodologies for product design. The former intends to design products by taking into consideration the logistics system that the product needs to fit in, whereas the latter explores a set of design alternatives to converge on a final specification for both product and processes. Within the ...

An advanced infrastructure for collaborative engineering in electronic design automation

Engineering collaboration gets its new global dimension with the omnipotent access to Internet. Engineers have severe requirements concerning: security of design data, quality of net connections, easiness of collaboration, etc. This article presents visions and middleware architecture to establish pan-European collaborative engineering infrastructure and its application in the field of Electron...

An Information Economic Approach for Model Selection in Engineering Design

An important element of successful engineering design is the effective management of resources to support design decisions. Design decisions can be thought of as having two phases—a formulation phase and a solution phase. As part of the formulation phase, engineers must decide which models to use in support of design decisions. Although more accurate models typically lead to better decisions, t...
