Abstract Design, development, and other projects inevitably involve iteration. Iteration has
positive effects, such as enabling progressive generation of knowledge, enabling …

In complex products the values of parameters are rarely exactly the required values, rather
they often have a margin that might be designed in deliberately or be the incidental results of …

Projects are temporary allocations of resources commissioned to achieve a desired result.
Since each project is unique, the landscape between the current state (the start of the …

In product design, it is critical to perform project activities in an appropriate sequence.
Otherwise, essential information will not be available when it is needed, and activities that …

This paper examines design iteration and its modelling in the simulation of New Product
Development (NPD) processes. A framework comprising six perspectives of iteration is …

The performance of product development processes is important to the commercial success
of new products. The improvement of these processes is thus a strategic imperative for many …

We examine whether cooperative planning and uncertainty affect the magnitude of rework in
concurrent engineering projects with upstream and downstream operations, and explore the …

Iteration is ubiquitous during software development and particularly notable in complex
system development. It has both positive and negative effects; the positives of iteration …

Enhancement of iteration management in the design phase is important for successful offsite
building projects. Design iteration has two aspects. Although iteration is necessary to deal …

Design processes are characterised by uncertainty and iteration, making them difficult to
plan and manage. These characteristics are incorporated into an original model in which …
