Summary

Processes

the act of transforming a set of unstructured process steps into a process flow. This separates the integrated process from the unstructured environment.

the process by which smaller pieces of software are brought together to form a larger piece of software that was designed to solve a problem

consists of the attempt to reconcile disparate or contradictory beliefs, often while melding practices of various schools of thought.

Summary

Development processes become more complex, costly, time consuming

Simulation is the answer of some challenges in the product development

CAE Processes are only “piecewise linear”

Training effort for the product development engineer is tremendous

Complexity has to be handled, controlled managed

Integrated approaches seem to be promising as you will see on …

What can we learn from this?
