Purpose and goal
The project objective was to develop work methods suited for project rooms. The developed work methods are suited to be used in a project room but this is not a limitation. The fulfillments of the objectives are very good. Digital solutions of Project rooms are studied and conclusions are made. A demonstrator of a digital project room will be available for a period of time after the end of the project
Expected results and effects
The results of the project are highly applicable but also published at scientific conferences. This is obvious in particular for the work on Instat Set-Based Design and the work on causal diagrams and trade-off curves. Three of the participating firma are using these results as a result of the project. Dissemination through the Production Leap has been useful in practice and feedback results to the project.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is composed of 7 work packages (WP). Fulfillment of objectives is highest in WP 2, 3, 4, 7. Also WP 5 has good fulfillment of objectives. WP 1 has served as an input of data to the rest of the project by mapping work processes. Challenges of the participating firms were approached inspired by Design Research Methodology and interactive research where the researchers have participated in the studied processes. Theory from lean product development and theory from the product development were combined and tested. Observations were always done by more than one researcher.
