Challenges for Product DesignThe Boundary-less
Organisation

• Modelling the virtual enterprise
• distributed governance decision making
• management of dynamic enterprise constellations
• end-to-end business processes (involving
  customers, suppliers)
• Infrastructures for Ambient Intelligence
• rapidly re-configurable
• supporting growing needfor interoperability
  security
• Technologies
• Agents, semantic web, GRID, ...

9
Challenges for Product Design Systems Approach

• Integrating the product life-cycle
• Holistic view of engineering, business, HR
  aspects
• Configuration management
• RD needs
• technologies for visualisation interfacing
• computing power (e.g. GRIDs)
• semantic computing (e.g. ontologies)
• Dealing with complexity
• Using re-using knowledge
• e.g. from engineering to maintenance
• Holistic Product design
• e.g. simultanuous hardware and software design,
• Modeling simulating complete systems
• e.g. cars their use environments

10
Challenges for Product Design Novel Product
Concepts

• The extended product
• novel product/service models
• e-customisation
• new product/servicedelivery concepts
• e-maintainability

FP6 is a different beast...
Strategic means innovative, important, visionary,
best-of-breed, long-term, ...
Objective means goals, achieving, measuring,
collaborative, ...

• The success of an SO will be key
• The success of an SO will be Managed by
  results
• The success of an SO is a factor in its
  continuation
• Embodiment in the wider environment of national,
  international research is required

Integrating new technologies for manufacturing
enterprises

• Holistic product and service engineering
• knowledge and information flow between suppliers,
  service providers users. Customization,
  fulfillment, logistics and maintenance. Smart
  tags.
• Novel manufacturing and engg environments
• collaborative work environments for
  multi-partners. Sustainable life cycle management
  of prod. serv.

14
Integrating new technologies for manufacturing
enterprises

• The digital factory
• Re-configurability of mfg operations. plug
  produce solutions integrating design,
  simulation, RP to production planning
• production based on mechatronic building blocks,
  wireless control and standardised equipment
• Advanced control
• embedded systems based on wireless networking of
  embedded devices for the dynamic reconfiguration
  of mfg processes

The mechanism

• Working group of all project co-ordinator which
  co-ordinates the tasks of the group and the
  exchange of information
• Meetings on demand but at least twice a year with
  a flexible configuration
• Specific papers and documents are prepared
• Common partners in projects, i.e. SAP, TXT,
  Gruppo Formula, Sintef
• Common board members

21
European eBusiness research Criteria for Success

• IPs and NoEs to achieve their objectives(to
  create the necessary impact)
• Contribute to a ERA in e_Business (integrate
  themselves with Industry, Research and End-users)

• Industry Groups
• PhD sponsoring programmes
• Strategy - Exploitation - Industrial and market
  impact
• Dissemination - Contribution to Standards
• Links to National and International Programmes

Open to world-wide co-operation
22
Conclusions Opportunities challenges

• A 5-year research agenda to put Europe at the
  edge of eBusiness research and industry.
• Develop and leverage architectures, technologies
  and organisational forms for ground-breaking
  products, services and businesses.
• Supported and driven by industry.
• Capitalising on the Europes research potential
  and eBusiness abilities.
• Concentrating efforts resources.
• Open to co-operate world-wide
• Reach a goal-oriented strategy alignment among
  stakeholders.
