“…Thus, development time and money can be identified as the cost of learning in the design phase of NPD projects. Similarly, Henshall et al (2017) identify design rework as a cost factor that engineering design teams can reduce with learning interventions that develop the skills of the engineering teams. Therefore, we can identify the cost of design rework as one type of learning cost.…”

“…They suggest that vision clarity, knowledge gained from customers and competitors, past product reviews and aggressive deadlines can be the ways of learning in the product development process. Likewise, Henshall et al (2017) argue that learning can enhance the efficiency of the product development process and reduce the cost of design rework. They suggest that efficiency of the product development process can be enhance by defining learning intervention aimed at developing skills in senior engineering management.…”

“…They propose lectures, training and group work as learning strategies or methods in the product development process. Henshall et al (2017) developed a model of learning cycles in the NPD process. They developed three learning methods: (1) "learning by using," which is based on customers' experiences after using the product, (2) "learning by doing," which occurs as the firm manufactures a greater volume of the product and (3) "learning by failures," which takes place as managers identify failure patterns and weak links in the organisation by launching successive generations of the product into market.…”

In the design phase of product development (PD) process, most new products face significant uncertainties and risks. Uncertainty is typically associated with a lack of information, while learning is a process that acquires information. Therefore, learning fast and at low cost decreases the uncertainty and increases the efficiency of the product design phase. This paper investigates the concept of the cost of learning in PD's design phase. Reviewing the literature, we conceptualize the cost of learning and review the learning methods considering three aspects in the design phase of the PD process: (1) costs associated with learning from mistakes and failures, (2) learning methods and (3) categories of learners. This paper thus provides the conceptual foundations for future work to increase the efficiency of the PD process by reducing the cost of learning from mistakes and failures.

“…Identifying the needs and formulation of TIU are closely related because only problems related to the lack of knowledge, skills and attitudes can produce TIU formulations. Information about the needs to be analyzed was obtained from 3 groups, namely students (Technicians), service users (Head of workshops), educators (Instructors) (Deveci, 2017;Henshall et al, 2017).…”

The advancement of technology make automotive industry has to improve rapidly, it causes the training for technicians must be update continuously, so it confuses some instructors it caused some of these trainings often ineffective, they are not what the company truly needs. This study aims to analyze the needs to make an effective training in the automotive industry. This method was developed to minimize errors that would occur while develop a training for technicians. This study used a qualitative approach, the data to be studied were collected through interviews with technicians and instructors, literature review also used in this study. The results of this study is to produce a needs analysis method that considers aspects of learning according to context in order to keep up with technology advancement. A training can be effective if the needs of the company were fulfilled, utilizing learning facilities that company already has can also increase the training development process. The contribution of the results of this research to the field of educational technology is a method for analyzing training needs specifically for technicians in order to assist other researchers in field of educational technology to develop training for technicians.

“…Functional models of complex systems can be created by systematic mapping of flows of energy, material, and information through the system, as illustrated in Campean et al (2011). The SSFD methodology has been deployed in industry over the past 6 years, in particular in conjunction with two major automotive OEMs, supported through a learning intervention for a design methodology focussed on robust engineering systems design analysis (Henshall et al, 2017). Through this deployment, many engineers have been exposed to the methodology, with several hundred case studies being developed.…”

This paper introduces a rigorous framework for function modeling of complex multidisciplinary systems based on the system state flow diagram (SSFD). The work addresses the need for a consistent methodology to support solution-neutral function-based system decomposition analysis, facilitating the design, modeling, and analysis of complex systems architectures. A rigorous basis for the SSFD is established by defining conventions for states and function definitions and a representation scheme, underpinned by a critical review of existing literature. A set of heuristics are introduced to support the function decomposition analysis and to facilitate the deployment of the methodology with strong practitioner guidelines. The SSFD heuristics extend the existing framework of Otto and Wood (2001) by introducing a conditional fork node heuristic, to facilitate analysis and aggregation of function models across multiple modes of operation of the system. The empirical validation of the SSFD function modeling framework is discussed in relation to its application to two case studies: a benchmark problem (glue gun) set for the engineering design community; and an industrial case study of an electric vehicle powertrain. Based on the evidence from the two case studies presented in the paper, a critical evaluation of the SSFD function modeling methodology is discussed based on the function benchmarking framework established by Summers et al. (2013), considering the representation, modeling, cognitive, and reasoning characteristics. The significance of this paper is that it establishes a rigorous reference framework for the SSFD function representation and a consistent methodology to guide the practitioner with its deployment, facilitating its impact to industrial practice.
