Inhalte (short description):
Current reference models on product creation lack the level of detail that is required to plan, coordinate, and supervise large-scale product creation processes in industrial companies. Inspired by best practices in industry and a review and extension of the extant research, the module will focus on formalizing the product creation process further and develop a reference model that can be instantiated and applied in industrial companies. The module starts with the observation that our modern society is based on an almost uncountable number of “things" which get created in industry. The procedure to design all these products to produce them in a series production follows more or less always the same pattern. It is the pattern of process, organization, and project management in OEM[1] industry. Usually, it is a very complex cooperation between many line functions inside a company and as well between companies which means supplier integration. Of course, there are differences between industries such as Chemistry, Automotive, Medicine etc., but the main paradigm is very similar. For an intuitive understanding, this seminar will focus mainly on everyday products such as pens, screwdrivers, printers, washing machines, automobiles, computers, planes etc. The Program: The seminar starts with an abstract understanding of methods of business process modeling. What is a process model? Organization versus Roles Stage Gate Model Excurse: The meaning of language and business process objects as institutional facts The second part focuses the paradigmatic understanding on how an integrated product creation process works: Product creation process: paradigms and single roles. Stairs model Requirements engineering, Working with suppliers, Defining the production All these 4 paradigms get combined and out of this a high-level, cross-functional time schedule for product creation gets derived. Part three dives into the work which the different line functions must do along the high-level plan.

Lernergebnisse (learning outcomes):

Fachkompetenz Wissen (professional expertise):
Studierende... Students will understand… the paradigmatic way of product creation in OEM industry, including key methods such as process modeling and an idea of the focus of project management. the fundamentals of line function work and processes in industry. key industry concepts like stage-gate models, supplier integration, and high-level cross-functional time schedules. how to present their own research results convincingly.
Fachkompetenz Fertigkeit (practical professional and academic skills):
Studierende... Students will be able to… use the learned content when stepping into industry and work in new product creation projects. transfer the abstract product creation process to an application such as the creation of everyday products like an eBicycle. synthesize paradigms like requirements engineering, supplier collaboration, and production planning into a coherent product development strategy. develop a project plan considering the roles of suppliers and the needs of different departments (e.g., finance, aftersales, quality).
Personale Kompetenz / Sozial (individual competences / social skills):
Studierende... Students… can apply various research methods and presentation techniques for the preparation of independent theses, in particular as training for the preparation and presentation of the Master's thesis. are able to give students well-structured, critical and constructive feedback. actively accept critical-constructive feedback and successfully implement it to further develop their seminar paper.
Personale Kompetenz / Selbstständigkeit (individual competences / ability to perform autonomously):
Studierende... Students can… write scientific papers according to the usual scientific standards. examine product creation processes in industries independently. carry out initial research work independently and continuously develop and improve it with feedback. present, defend, and discuss their results in a scientific way.

Sonstige Hinweise (additional information):
It is expected that students bring some flexibility into participating in this seminar. The coordinator, Prof. Dr. J. Krueger, has more than 20 years of experience in process and project management in the automotive industry – however, this is the very first time to bring all these experiences into a comprehensive and methodological view. The idea is to elaborate jointly the product creation process and try to apply it hands on the idea of developing an electrical bicycle. Participating students agree to provide their thesis / presentation to be partially used in a potential publication.
