Supporting Design Reuse in Engineer-to-Order Context: A Systematic Literature Review

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Delivering Engineering-to-Order (ETO) products takes months or even years. Quotation preparation and engineering in the sales-delivery-order process is lacking design reuse as individual deliveries are started from scratch. Modularisation and platform approaches could help move from individually designed products to a solution approach based on design reuse. The purpose of this study is to clarify whether a method supporting development of ETO product utilizing Module Systems and Design Reasoning Patterns exist in the literature. This systematic literature review is part of the Design Research Methodology carried out as conceptual review to clarify what is already known about the selected topic. No methods or design process was found, but some ideas and tools supporting design reuse in ETO context exist in the literature. Support is needed for design reuse in ETO context and literature related modularisation in Configure-to-Order context needs to be investigated in future research.
