“…Foresight tools, e.g. scenario updates and monitoring, can be used to take account of changes in future developments (Siebe, 2018). Monitoring can be described as "watch and check a situation carefully for a period of time in order to discover something about it" (Cambridge Dictionary, 2023).…”

“…This means a focused, structured observation for certain goals or ideas about the area. (Lasinger, 2011) Siebe (2018 also distinguishes between the terms and describes them in a similar way.

“…Consequently, a comparison and observation must take place. In foresight, which is often used in strategic processes to anticipate possible futures, monitoring is an approach for observing change to compare assumptions with actual future developments (Siebe, 2018). But there is no uniform understanding of monitoring in the PEP.…”

Using foresight methods such as scenarios, possible futures can be described and anticipated. Needs and requirements as well as product properties can be derived from that, which is necessary to plan successful products for future customers. Changes that occur in the future development can be identified with monitoring and the expected future can be adjusted. A consistent understanding of the use of monitoring for the product engineering process does not exist and is developed in this paper. Thereby, monitoring is considered in the context of validation and located in iPeM.

“…Scenarios represent the most complex form of foresight and address extended time frames. The purpose of looking into the future is to obtain a clear picture of the future, to identify changes in the form of trends, and to recognize correlations between different factors and trends with the help of scenarios (Siebe, 2018). As a result, the so-called "early stage" has a high importance for the further process, since decisions on the design of the product architecture, technologies used and future requirements have a great leverage effect on the subsequent process (Albers et al, 2017).…”

In today's VUCA-World it is necessary to consider future requirements to develop change- and future-robust future products, especially regarding the increasing demand for sustainable solutions. In order to address this situation, upgradeability of modular products can be a solution. Considering that elements of modular products are used in several different products and over a long period of time, there is a need to act on this challenge. To uncover areas with a need for action, a systematic literature review on upgradeable and modular products was conducted. After resolving four fields of action and under consideration of the need for sustainable products, another systematic literature review examined the solution space of upgradable modular product architecture. In conclusion, several influencing factors on the upgradeable design of modular products could be identified, which are presented in this work.

It is essential to develop products that are successful in future markets. However, product engineering often takes several years or even longer, and anticipating the needs and requirements for products is necessary. Strategic foresight provides a solution for identifying future product needs and requirements as well as product properties. Given the constantly changing environment, it is necessary to continually adapt the results of strategic foresight. Changes can be identified through shifting forecasts and trends. To ensure the success of the product in development, changes in the environment must be continuously integrated into the product engineering process (PEP). Thus, the relationship between monitoring changes in the future through foresight approaches and in the product during the PEP is important. This paper aims to analyze the integration of monitoring into the product engineering process based on elements of strategic foresight. The main objective was to identify whether existing approaches support this integration, by conducting a systematic literature review analyzing 1,664 research results. Here, no suitable approaches were identified in the literature. Therefore, to enable the integration of such approaches into the PEP, existing foresight approaches were examined to determine the extent to which monitoring approaches can be linked to them. During the examination of existing foresight approaches, especially scenario methods, commonalities were identified. Although these run individually, they generate the same results, such as influencing and key factors. These commonalities can be used as starting points for monitoring. To define these starting points, general monitoring approaches were examined to compare their structure and process. Here, different processes and structures of the approaches were identified, making it challenging to derive uniform elements for linking to foresight approaches in PEP. The central finding of this research work is that a design support must be defined to enable linkage and integration into the PEP. Initial preliminary work is suitable, in which product properties are derived from the scenarios themselves, as well as key factors. A link between product properties, scenarios, and key factors exists, which can be used for the operationalization of monitoring but has not yet been defined. In summary, different approaches to monitoring exist, but they have different procedures and structures, making integration into the PEP challenging. However, the uniformity of the scenario processes provides a good starting point for developing support for the monitoring of environments, which can help derive the impact on product properties in the event of changes. This enables the PEP to react to changes in the future and develop products that are robust for the future.
