Methodisches Entwickeln technischer Produkte

Standards, processes, and tools

In a world marked by increasing global competition and diverse challenges, technological development is essential; tackling it systematically increases the chances of success and minimizes costs and risks. This publication offers a comprehensive thematic guide that systematically analyses the various aspects of technological product development.

The collected documents deal with technical aspects and the necessary management required, while also addressing ecological aspects, thus allowing users a broad perspective on the topic.

The following key points are dealt with in “Methodical development of technical products”:

• technological solutions in the context of
• project management
• lifecycle assessment and recycling-oriented product development
• safe design of products
• manufacturing process

DIN Taschenbuch 316 contains five DIN standards and seven VDI Guidelines. The DIN standards address project, programme, portfolio, and quality management; the VDI Guidelines cover the other areas of the publication.

On around 450 pages, readers will find the necessary normative and technical expertise to carry out technical product development professionally and effectively. The various phases of development are covered:

• planning: VDI Guideline 2221 Blatt 1 and Blatt 2 are the two most important guidelines on the subject in this document collection and shed light on models and the design of the entire process. They are supplemented by VDI 2223 on the systematic embodiment design of technical products.

• design: VDI 2225 Blatt 3 provides information on the evaluation of optimum costs in terms of engineering design; VDI 2244 adds safety-related aspects. VDI 2519 Blatt 1 helps with the creation of tender and performance specifications.

• project execution: The four most important DIN standards on the subject guide readers through successful project and quality management and provide in-depth information on context and concepts related to technical product development projects.

• practical aspects: DIN 8580 on manufacturing processes and VDI 2243 on recycling-oriented product development round off the publication with two documents that also ensure sustainability and practical relevance.

The DIN Taschenbuch 316 “Methodical development of technical products” is an excellent resource for those responsible for development processes, offering knowledge for each phase.

This book is for:

Those responsible in development and research, quality and product managers, process and process safety managers, and other stakeholders in the development process of technical products.
