This book focuses on management of complex system structures in product design. It offers a methodology for analysis, control and optimization of complex structures. It also addresses applicability of domain-spanning problems.

Product design is characterized by a steady increase in complexity. The main focus of this book is a structural approach on complexity management. This means, system structures are considered in order to address the challenge of complexity in all aspects of product design. Structures arise from the complex dependencies of system elements. Thus, the identification of system structures provides access to the understanding of system behavior in practical applications.

The book presents a methodology that enables the analysis, control and optimization of complex structures, and the applicability of domain-spanning problems. The methodology allows significant improvements on handling system complexity by creating improved system understanding on the one hand and optimizing product design that is robust for system adaptations on the other hand. Developers can thereby enhance project coordination and improve communication between team members and as a result shorten development time. The practical application of the methodology is described by means of two detailed examples.

Herr Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann hat nach seiner Promotion viele Jahre in der Industrie gearbeitet. Seit 1995 ist er für den Lehrstuhl für Produktentwicklung der TU München verantwortlich. Lehre und Forschung konzentrieren sich auf die Entwicklung von Strategien für die frühen Entwicklungsphasen, Vorgehensweisen zur Produktinnovation, Fragen des Kostenmanagements und des Rechnereinsatzes in der Produktentwicklung sowie die Berücksichtigung psychologischer und soziologischer Erkenntnisse.

Dr.-Ing. Maik Maurer graduated in mechanical engineering at the Technische Universität München. In 2007 he became Ph.D. at the Technische Universität München.
