Industrial revolutions (IRs) are mostly associated with how transformations regarding the operations of an enterprise affect said enterprise’s manufacturing systems. However, the impact of these transformations exceeds the production systems themselves; rather, they affect the entire value chain, from the product design and development process (PDDP) through manufacturing and supply-chain management to marketing and disposal. As the new PDDP to a large extent defines the value chain for a company, the challenge lies in ensuring that the designed product will help the company fully benefit from the IRs. By analysing the 4th IR, the authors reveal that few publications shed light on this aspect. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to establish features and properties that will shape the PDDP throughout the 4th IR and into a smart design engineering. To accomplish this, the authors conduct a systematic review of the literature, which provides ten findings. These findings are then analysed by 11 specialists both from academia and the industry, and the findings’ relations to the 4th IR and their impact on the product development process is discussed. By establishing these findings, this paper provides a platform for the understanding of what could potentially shape smart design engineering and its design-related activities.

智能设计工程：第四次工业革命对产品设计和开发影响的文献综述

工业革命 (IR) 主要与有关企业运营的转型如何影响所述企业的制造系统有关。然而，这些转变的影响超过了生产系统本身；相反，它们影响整个价值链，从产品设计和开发过程 (PDDP) 到制造和供应链管理，再到营销和处置。由于新的 PDDP 在很大程度上定义了公司的价值链，因此挑战在于确保设计的产品将帮助公司充分受益于 IR。通过分析第 4 次 IR，作者发现很少有出版物阐明了这一方面。最后，本研究的目的是建立将在第四次 IR 中塑造 PDDP 并成为智能设计工程的特征和属性。为了实现这一目标，作者对文献进行了系统回顾，其中提供了十项发现。然后由来自学术界和工业界的 11 位专家分析这些发现，并讨论了这些发现与第四次 IR 的关系及其对产品开发过程的影响。通过建立这些发现，本文提供了一个平台，用于了解可能影响智能设计工程及其设计相关活动的潜在因素。并讨论了调查结果与第四次 IR 的关系及其对产品开发过程的影响。通过建立这些发现，本文提供了一个平台，用于了解可能影响智能设计工程及其设计相关活动的潜在因素。并讨论了调查结果与第四次 IR 的关系及其对产品开发过程的影响。通过建立这些发现，本文提供了一个平台，用于了解可能影响智能设计工程及其设计相关活动的潜在因素。
