Development of Systems of Objectives in Early Product Engineering. Entwicklung von Zielsystemen in der frühen Produktentstehung

Early stages are characterised by high uncertainty regarding a future product and its environment. This thesis investigates technical product objectives especially regarding their alignment to future constraints. It presents a strategy and systemic modelling approach based on the integrated product engineering model (iPeM) to enable operative planning and management during the generation of objectives in early stages. Insights base on an empirical study conducted in the automotive industry
