Adapting a design to the needs of a specific customer can be seen as a process in
which an existing product is changed to incorporate desired properties and to exclude
undesired ones. In a multi-project environment, many such projects are typically in
execution at any given time and must compete for limited resources. Various strategies
and approaches may be taken to organise such multi-project systems in order to maximise
their effectiveness. This paper identifies and discusses several such strategies and
shows how simulation can be used to explore their effectiveness in different contexts.
Based on a case study of a simple, yet real customisation environment, we outline
a discrete-event Monte-Carlo simulation model that we developed and which we argue
can be used to explore some of the main issues. Although based on a simple example.
we propose that the basic structure of our model could be used to derive insights
for multi-project customisation environments in complex engineering domains. |
