Specification of a Knowledge Crossroads for a Productive and Optimised Design

Facing an increasingly competition internationalized, companies must always stay competitive. To respect the triptych "Quality-Cost-Time" design trends are moving toward a routine design. Our goal is to propose a method to change these trends and allow companies wishing to enhance their competitiveness to allocate more time to high value added design and innovative design. For this, we will reduce routine design time of the design departments (estimated at 80% [Prasad, 96]) by automating the tedious parts and low value added product design process.
