ABSTRACT Design automation supports design in several ways by automating design tasks based on computational tools. However, design automation use in industrial practice does not reflect the opportunities provided by state-of-the-art design automation. A lack of quantitative methods for assessing the potential impact of design automation in design practice contributes to this gap. Therefore, this research proposes a top-down method for the derivation of metrics for the potential estimation of design automation impact in practice. The method builds on collaborative workshops that focus on design process modelling, value stream mapping and failure mode effects analysis. The assumption is that if design automation is used, some of the failure mode causes are removed and harmful effects are mitigated. Validation of the method was conducted for two industrial case studies showing the applicability of the method in practice. The results highlight that both metrics and metrics specific to the use cases are attained. Thus, successive application of the method to different cases yields a generic metrics system that enables standardised estimation of design automation potential and the development of benchmarks for research on design automation. Therefore, this work lays the foundation for systematic and purposeful implementation of design automation in practice and research.

一种用于推导设计自动化潜力评估指标的自上而下的方法

摘要 设计自动化通过基于计算工具的自动化设计任务以多种方式支持设计。然而,工业实践中的设计自动化使用并不能反映最先进的设计自动化提供的机会。缺乏用于评估设计自动化在设计实践中的潜在影响的定量方法导致了这一差距。因此,本研究提出了一种自上而下的方法,用于推导实践中设计自动化影响的潜在估计指标。该方法建立在专注于设计过程建模、价值流映射和故障模式影响分析的协作研讨会之上。假设是,如果使用设计自动化,则可以消除某些故障模式原因并减轻有害影响。该方法的验证是针对两个工业案例研究进行的,表明该方法在实践中的适用性。结果突出显示,特定于用例的指标和指标均已实现。因此,该方法在不同情况下的连续应用产生了一个通用的度量系统,该系统能够对设计自动化潜力进行标准化估计,并为设计自动化研究制定基准。因此,这项工作为在实践和研究中系统地、有目的地实施设计自动化奠定了基础。该方法在不同情况下的连续应用产生了一个通用的度量系统,该系统能够对设计自动化潜力进行标准化估计,并为设计自动化研究制定基准。因此,这项工作为在实践和研究中系统地、有目的地实施设计自动化奠定了基础。该方法在不同情况下的连续应用产生了一个通用的度量系统,该系统能够对设计自动化潜力进行标准化估计,并为设计自动化研究制定基准。因此,这项工作为在实践和研究中系统地、有目的地实施设计自动化奠定了基础。
