A constraint-net approach to the resolution of conflicts in a product with multi-technology requirements (2009)
Journal Article
Medland, A. J., Matthews, J., & Mullineux, G. (2009). A constraint-net approach to the resolution of conflicts in a product with multi-technology requirements. International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 22(3), 199-209. https://doi.org/10.1080/09511920802372286While many procedures exist to support the systematic development of a product, it is often difficult to create an environment in which the early stages of the design are resolved. This can particularly happen when the product design is based upon a... Read More about A constraint-net approach to the resolution of conflicts in a product with multi-technology requirements.
