In the modern globar market and manufacturing environment, industries have to put more focus on reducing time to market while reducing production costs on the development of new products. Collaborative product development is a growing trend that is being used to answer some of that problem. However, literature research has revealed that there are only a small number of researches that has talke...

As the rates of market change accelerate and customer expectations grow, product development becomes an increasingly important activity. In this environment, the performance of the product development process and the impact of product design on costs are critical factors for organizational success. To respond, firms are adding resources such as computer-aided design (CAD) to enhance product dev...

Model security for collaborative product development in a networked environment (or called networked manufacturing, grid manufacturing, and cloud manufacturing) is an important and also challenging research issue. An encryption based partial sharing approach for CAD models has been developed and presented in this paper. First, a random invertible decimal matrix to support the encryption approac...

Innovative product development and in-house process design have been largely studied and methods, such as concurrent engineering, integrated product development, or dynamic product development are set up to answer real needs of industrialists. However, no innovative product can be put on the market without a well-structured and well-organized network of partners. This simple idea deeply influen...

This paper describes challenges faced by companies that form partnership with global suppliers in developing an integrated product. Many experts agree that concurrent product development (CPD) across the supply chain is the next significant challenge in design for manufacturability. Effective management of this process is a key to achieve superior timeto-market and life cycle quality. Drawing o...

weakness of research & development strategy for technology transfer management in product design activities is one of the most difficulties for local companies in iran. therefore, this paper trying to present a method to indicting research & development strategy for identifying fit technology with requirements of customer and provide a solution for acquisition of needs technologies of companies...
