The product development is a multidisciplinary process but also involves different areas of knowledge ranging from creativity in concept generation to refinement of design and finally the validation of the product. There are different approaches that attempt to define the best product development process, and thereby establishes a reliable method for efficiently transforming ideas into products. The use of a method that systematically establishes a work process seems to be highly advantageous, not only because it defines a critical and guiding path of work, organizing the tasks and their results, but also facilitates the communication of the development team. The methodology can provide records and other graphic documents that allow the development team to access these for future developments. The work presented here is the development of a systematic method supported by the use of structured tools to support the decisions, data processing and transposition of the same to the project in the approach to the new Product Development process. This research methodology was introduced and already implemented in projects at Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Aveiro. The work developed on it, both at the level of the students’ project and in the work of Development cooperation with companies presented good results. This method result in a structured way to transforming ideas into products.

使用结构化工具进行产品开发过程的新方法

产品开发是一个多学科过程，但也涉及不同领域的知识，从概念产生的创造力到设计的改进，最后是产品的验证。有不同的方法试图定义最佳的产品开发过程，从而建立一种将创意有效地转化为产品的可靠方法。使用系统地建立工作流程的方法似乎非常有利，不仅因为它定义了工作的关键和指导路径、组织任务及其结果，而且还促进了开发团队的沟通。该方法可以提供记录和其他图形文档，使开发团队可以访问这些以进行未来的开发。这里介绍的工作是开发一种系统方法，该方法由结构化工具的使用支持，以支持新产品开发过程中的决策、数据处理和项目转换。该研究方法已在阿威罗大学机械工程系的项目中引入并实施。在此基础上开展的工作，无论是在学生项目层面还是在与公司的发展合作方面都取得了良好的成果。这种方法导致以结构化的方式将想法转化为产品。该研究方法已在阿威罗大学机械工程系的项目中引入并实施。在此基础上开展的工作，无论是在学生项目层面还是在与公司的发展合作方面都取得了良好的成果。这种方法导致以结构化的方式将想法转化为产品。该研究方法已在阿威罗大学机械工程系的项目中引入并实施。在此基础上开展的工作，无论是在学生项目层面还是在与公司的发展合作方面都取得了良好的成果。这种方法导致以结构化的方式将想法转化为产品。
