“…The use of value models has the potential to effectively devalue the engineering process itself by giving the appearance that engineering (quantitative evaluation) is occurring. Hence, the intrinsic subjectivity and qualitative nature of the process has to be addressed and communicated to correctly support decision-making (Blanco et al, 2007). It is responsibility of project leaders or managers to decide how many criteria are enough to enable a sound decision, to set the correct references, to sort among trade-offs and to understand how dimensions and drivers should weight in the final choice.…”

Emerging from a study in the European aerospace industry, this paper identifies a gap in the way value-related information is communicated to designers of hardware in the preliminary stages of Product Service System (PSS) design. To fit this gap a Lifecycle Value Representation Approach, named LiVReA, that uses color-coded 3D CAD models to enable value information to be translated into visual features, is presented. Such approach aims at enhancing designers' awareness of the value contribution of an early design concept on the overall PSS offer by complementing requirements-based information with criteria reflecting the fulfillment of customers and system value. The paper details the development of the approach, its underlying rationale, the results of preliminary validation activities and the potential for industrial application in the light of the currently available PSS representation tools.

“…Much more focused on product design, the maturity management model proposed in [5] is used to facilitate dayto-day engineering collaboration and to ensure a continuity along the design process. This model is close to our research goal but provides a maturity model quite difficult to articulate with uncertainties, even if a mapping have been identified [8].…”

In order to reduce time to market and to master the costs, the design process of industrial companies is more and more structured. It enables collaborative design for experts integration and for improving the decision-making process. Decision making under uncertainties remains an important issue, especially at the beginning of this design process. The product performances are a common reference in collaborative design, and their management involves interactive design. In this paper, a functional analysis under uncertainties approach is proposed, as a means to improve interactive design. It enables to manage the risk of not fulfilling the required performances throughout the design process. This methodology makes it easy to link the data usually handled in engineering design (especially the technical requirements) with those handled for risk assessment (especially failure analysis). Using logical trees, the product functions and the associated chosen technologies are analyzed in terms of risk, taking account of the uncertainties that lead to risk and the potential failure that can arise.

“…The possibility of modification of the information, to evaluate if the information can be changed after its release by the information source. An object which cannot be modified by its users is a closed IO whereas an object which is a support for negotiation and interaction is an open IO [26]. This characteristic is used to determine the influence of the different users on the IO and whether the object is more a support for negotiation or for prescription.…”
