    Strategic planning of information technological infrastructures for life cycle management
    ( 1998)
    Krause, F.-L.
    ;
    Kind, C.
    In parallel with the increase of the importance of life cycle management aspects the appropriate supply of information according to specific requirements within all life cycle phases becomes more important. By this, an information management system is needed which has to be based on an appropriate information technological infrastructure to secure the information flows between life cycle phases distributed in place and time. Within this contribution a reference model of such information technological infrastructures will be presented, which contains the most important elements to fulfil the complex tasks and can be used to derive specific infrastructures. Based on this reference model a simulation system is described which has the task to model and optimise information technological infrastructures.

    Potentials of information technology for life-cycle-orientied product and process development
    ( 1996)
    Krause, F.-L.
    ;
    Kind, C.
    Due to the increasing responsibility of companies and increasing demand on the market for high quality and environmentally conscious products, consideration of life-cycle requirements in product and process development has become more important in recent years. The modification of product and process development to take account of the complex interrelationships within product life-cycles requires organisational as well as administrative changes and an application of specific methods and tools to support manager and staff. In this article, potential aspects of information technology leading to the attainment of this goal are presented. The main emphasis is placed on environmental aspects.

    To meet changing demands with respect to product development processes, innovative soft- ware tools are required which perform in multimedia environments and with advanced coope- rative technologies. These tools support the designer in a distributed product development process to shorten product development time and to increase product quality. In this sense, communication technologies supporting computer-based 'teamwork, the improvement of information supply and an increase in the efficiency of training measures are of great importance. The Fraunhofer-lnstitute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK), Department of Design Technology, and the Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology of the Technical University of Berlin (IWF) Department of Industrial Informa- tion Technology, present different approaches to optimize distributed product development.
