To systematically create and share product development knowledge creates challenges for engineering companies. This paper presents an extensive study regarding the process of identifying such challenges in managing product development knowledge from the pe ...
New product development today is a knowledge-heavy process, but very often this knowledge is not adequately handled, it’s not made readily available to the actors, or is lost within or between similar projects. Furthermore, different legacy tools and data ...
The current competitive industrial context requires more flexible, intelligent and compact product lifecycles, especially in the product development process where several lifecycle issues have to be considered, so as to deliver lifecycle oriented products. ...
Au, Pd, and AuPd supported on TiO2 were prepared by a sol immobilization route. Operando attenuated total reflectance (ATR) IR spectroscopy and catalytic batch reactor experiments were performed in parallel to elucidate the different catalytic performance ...
As the demand for new drugs is rising, the pharmaceutical industry faces the quest of shortening development time, and thus, reducing the time to market. Environmental aspects typically still play a minor role within the early phase of process development. ...
This article sheds light on how industry fluctuations affect firms' propensity to innovate. We test two seemingly conflicting arguments that suggest how firms are more or less inclined to engage in innovation activities during industry fluctuations. By stu ...
Interest in the medicinal properties of ruthenium(II)-arene compounds has grown rapidly over the last decade. In this account we describe the origins of the field and subsequently highlight developments in the field, including the design of compounds that ...
Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology is revolutionizing industrial and consumer products by replacing bulky devices by miniaturized versions that are suitable for portable applications as for instance in mobile phones. Besides small size, the ...
The main product of Portland cement hydration is C-S-H. Despite constituting more than half of the volume of hydrated pastes and having an important role in strength development, very little is known about the factors that determine its morphology. To inve ...
The product development process (PDP) in innovative companies is becoming more and more complex, encompassing many very diverse activities, and involving a fairly big number of actors, spread across different professions, teams and organizations. One of th ...
