Bringing successful innovative products to the market is in many cases a balance between
targeted innovation and the reuse of existing technology. Innovation introduces risk,
which can be kept at a minimum by careful application of tested technology, provided
designers have a clear understanding of how new technology can be incorporated into
existing products or how tested technology can be brought across into new products.
In reality this integration often fails, and designers need to look for innovative
solutions at the last minute to integrate new and old parts. To avoid this “emergency”
innovation – as it was termed by an automotive engineer – designers need to understand
how different parts of a product are connected to each other and how changes to one
component affect other components. This paper reports on a method to predict how change
propagates through existing products. A product is represented as a square matrix
and the pair wise dependencies between components are captured with likelihood and
impact values, such that indirect risk can be calculated. Using various graphic representations
of the structure of the product, designers can explore dependencies between components
and avoid design choices that might force them to change highly connected parts. |
