Organised by: Cranfield UniversityReverse engineering techniques are applied to generate a part model where there is no existing
documentation or it is no longer up to date. To facilitate the reverse engineering tasks, a modular, multiperspective
design recovery framework has been developed. An evaluation of the product and feature
complexity characteristics can readily be extracted from the design recovery framework by using a
modification of a rapid complexity assessment tool. The results from this tool provide insight with respect to
the original design and assists with the evaluation of potential alternatives and risks, as illustrated by the
case study.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
