    Product creation is facing the next level of fundamental changes. Global demands are growing substantially to achieve energy efficient and sustainable value creation networks for production, products and services without compromising traditional success factors such as time to market, cost and quality. To stay competitive within such an environment development partners in industry and public sectors will require new interplay solutions for engineering design execution, domain knowledge representation, expert competence utilization and digital assistance systems. This scenario offers the chance for virtual production creation solutions to become critical for the future by offering unique engineering capabilities, which have not yet been explored or deployed. The paper investigates key elements of modern Virtual Product Creation - such as agile process execution, functional product modeling and context appropriate information management - towards their competitive role in satisfying increasing numbers of product requirements, in delivering robust systems integration and in ensuring true sustainable product lifecycle solutions.

    This paper presents a concept and a prototypical solution for the management of competences of engineers working in product development processes (PDP). Objectives are the representation of individual personnel competences, their utilisation for PDP planning activities such as the assignment of engineers to design tasks, and the support of human resources development. Main result is an instrument for the rational description of the expertise needed to process new orders and of the competencies of the engineering designers. The prototype implementation of the approach is based on a graph based structure and on rules representing competence requirements of PDP and human competence profiles, both processed by an interference mechanism.

    Strategic planning of information technological infrastructures for life cycle management

    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.

    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.
