Methodisches Entwickeln von Anforderungen in der Produktentwicklung

Abstract

Product development projects are bound by objectives of various stake-holders. In early planning and design phases. these objectives can be very vague due to uncertainties with regard to knowledge and information about potential solutions as well as the design process. Moreover. time and cost requirments interact with product related requirements. Still. from the beginning of any design activity objectives must be translated into requirements to serve as a common information basis for the design process and to allow for the verification of the design solution. This paper presents a case study to exemplify typical problems in the development process caused by ill-defined requirements. In addition. approaches for a methodical procedure to address these problems are presented.
