“…Dumas et al (2018) defines three general problems with process capturing: distributed process knowledge, case-thinking and missing understanding of process notations like BPML. Mehlstäubl et al (2020) reports a high abstraction of established methods. This is causing disadvantages, if information flows are to be considered, which should be done in these highly dynamic processes.…”

“…Therefore established process management tools are not directly applicable to product development processes (Reolofsen and Lindemann, 2010). Mehlstäubl et al (2020) present characteristics of design processes in comparison to business processes. First of all, the result of the design process is only roughly known and not defined in detail.…”

“…Established methods focus on aspects like roles, task-chains, schedule, connections and results (Best and Weth, 2009). Mehlstäubl et al (2020) developed a metamodel for data and information flows, considering digital aspects in the process acquisition. They additionally captured storage location and product-related documents.…”

“…Due to design process characteristics, some challenges have to be respected to record and manage those activities. Creative processes are typically not exactly planned but highly dynamic to chaotic with many iterations and loops while conventional business process are reproducible and predictable (Mehlstäubl et al, 2020). The iterations are necessary, since product requirements change during the development or verification stages (e.g simulation) fail.…”

In our modern, interconnected and globalized world, design is in motion, to adapt to new situations. But successful Design in Motion must be based on Processes in Motion. For a target-oriented adaptation of the processes to the new, challenging conditions, the as-is procedures must be captured and analysed. For this analysis, established capturing procedures from production or administration cannot be used due to some special features of design processes and workflows, which will be discussed in this contribution. To compensate for the weaknesses of existing methods, we propose an adapted method for holistic design process capturing. With the procedure, we want to enable an economic process analysis, which is crucial for small and medium-size companies in particular. To give an insight into the practical application of the method, we exemplarily analyse the process of a shaft construction and FEM-evaluation by two different employees. Based on this analysis and to verify the relevance of the presented approach, an evaluation with respect to the requirements is done.

Design processes are always in motion, since more and more data-driven methods are used for various design and validation tasks. However, small and medium enterprises especially struggle with enhancing their processes with data-driven methods due to a lack of practical and easy-to-use analysis and redesign methods which can handle design process characteristics. In this paper, we present PADDME, which stands for process analysis for digital development in mechanical engineering, as a novel method that, in contrast to currently available analysis methods, considers those design process characteristics with respect to the integration of data-driven methods. Furthermore, a novel technology-readiness framework for digital engineering is introduced. Using the PADDME method, an industrial case study on introducing data-driven methods into the design and evaluation process chain is presented. The usability and novelty of the method are shown by the case study. Thus, PADDME allows a detailed capturing of current design processes and paves the way for process optimisation through data-driven methods. PADDME is a valuable method for advancing digital mechanical engineering processes in small and medium enterprises, and future work will focus on refining and expanding its application and evaluation.
