“…Value Driven Design (VDD) (Collopy and Hollingsworth 2011) has become a popular umbrella term that collects several methodologies (O'Neill et al 2010), ranging from previous work on Tradespace Exploration (Ross et al 2004), to Value Centric Design (Brown and Emerenko 2008) and Value Driven Optimization (Castagne et al 2009), and that is used by several research groups in the USA (O'Neill et al 2010;Collopy and Hollingsworth 2011) and in Europe Price et al 2012;Monceaux et al 2014) to indicate an "improved design process that uses requirements flexibility, formal optimization, and a mathematical value model to balance performance, cost, schedule, and other measures important to the stakeholders to produce the best possible outcome" (AIAA 2015).…”

“…In these earlier works, the value of a "system" is calculated based on the technical performances of the hardware, while service aspects and managerial implications are poorly considered in the value models (e.g., Castagne et al, 2009). While some authors claimed VDD to address cross-functionality and diverse teams, many existing case studies are strongly engineering-focused (Price et al, 2012).…”

In recent times a service-dominant logic is permeating the design of complex systems. However, in spite of their appeal, initiatives such as Product Service Systems (PSS) have not become mainstream, and methods are lacking to support this transition. This paper argues that methodological guidance, as well as tools for decision support, may be found in the research field of Value Driven Design (VDD), which originates in the realm of Systems Engineering. The paper objective is to elaborate on gaps and opportunities for cross-pollination between VDD and PSS. The results of a systematic review of methods and tools for design decision support highlight the opportunity for introducing optimization models derived from VDD in the PSS design process, while the latter can enrich VDD research with a more qualitative value assessment logic. The paper 3 summarizes this integration in a methodological approach, and exemplifies its application in case studies mainly from the aerospace and road construction equipment sector.

“…Such function, or "value model", accepts a vector of attributes as its argument to assign a score (scalar) to rank a design. Since "profitability" is by far the most intuitive dimension to assess the value of a system (Soban et al 2011), the "best" design is one that ultimately produces the best overall economic value (Castagne, Curran and Collopy 2009, Curran et al 2010, Collopy and Hollingsworth 2011, Fanthorpe et al, 2011, Cheung et al 2012.…”

In the last decade, as the manufacturing companies have reconsidered the overall concept of goods production, their focus shifted from developing 'products' to 'solutions'. In complex supply chains, the combination of products and services that maximize customers' and stakeholders' value can be identified only if manufacturers improve their ability to co-create, establishing more interactive relationships with end users, clients and sub-contractors. Methodologies for Value Driven Design (VDD) are emerging as enablers for cross-functional and cross-organizational knowledge sharing, reinforcing early stages design iterations to emphasize the maturation of the requirements across supply chain levels. This chapter highlights the uptake of VDD in a traditionally protective domain, such as the aerospace sector. It describes methods and tools for value assessment, and points toward the most relevant initiatives in this domain. Eventually, it discusses areas of further research to promote the effective use of the VDD methodology while designing complex engineering systems.

“…Meanwhile, a demonstration of how the profitability of commercial aircraft can be improved by using a value model for fuselage section design has been given by the Center of Excellence in Integrated Aircraft Technologies at Queen's University of Belfast (Castagne et al 2009), which is developing value-driven design strategies for aircraft structures.…”
