However…
• Shorter TTMs
• Dynamics requirements
• Increasing complexity
• Many stakeholder
Pushing further the need to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the design process
Identified trends (McKinsey)

Expert Knowledge
A simple example
CAS Properties
• Engineers in charge of introducing
knowledge
• Generates solution spaces
• Engineers dynamically change
requirements
Advantages
• Increases iteration cycles
• Reduces design time
• Manages knowledge
• Provides insights (sensitivity, robustness)
• Lean Product Development enabler
