Hotel accommodation and reservations are handled by the Munich Tourist Office. Please use the hotel reservation form provided at the end of this document (also available on the conference website) for your hotel reservation. For further information, please refer to the instructions provided with the hotel reservation form.

Transfers from the hotels to the conference venue are not provided. However, all hotels offered are in the vincinity of the venue and can be accessed by taxi or public transport.

Tutorials

Three different tutorials are offered. Only limited spaces are available, therefore the participation cannot be guaranteed. Please only opt for your preferred tutorial. Alternatively, a plant tour is offered for those participants who do not want to assist in the tutorials.

Tutorial A: Introduction to the Design Structure Matrix: Applications to Systems Architecting, Organization

Design, Process Analysis, and Project Management

Tyson Browning, Neeley School of Business, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas, USA

The design structure matrix (DSM) helps to plan and manage product architectures, organizational structures, and process flows at the enterprise, program, and project levels. By doing some simple analysis, one can prescribe a modular system architecture or organization structure. Adding a time-basis enables one to prescribe a faster, lower-risk process. Because the DSM highlights process feedbacks, it helps identify iteration and rework loops-key drivers of cost and schedule risk. The DSM can also show how delays in external inputs, such as requirements and equipment, trace directly to increased cost, schedule, and risk. The DSM is concise and visually appealing and is in use in a number of industries, companies, and agencies. People have found the tool extremely useful for fostering architectural and organizational innovation, and for enabling the situation awareness and empowerment that motivates people executing complex processes.

This tutorial introduces the DSM and four distinctive applications useful to product developers, project planners, project managers, systems engineers, and organizational designers. Real-life examples are presented, along with a number of practical applications in the aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, information technology, and other industries. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises and come away with a clear understanding of why dependencies and interaces are important and how to manage them. Participants will leave with a course notebook of descriptive materials and access to free tools that can be applied immediately to projects for quick results and insights.

Tutorial B: Information Driven Management

Mike Danilovic, Jönköping International Business School, Jönköping, Sweden

In complex organizations it is crucial to develop efficient problem solving capabilities in organizing tasks in integrated and cross-functional teams with customers and suppliers, modularization of product architecture and design of a lean process particularly when product development is carried out in multi-project settings. No matter how one organizes the processes into tasks, product architecture into modules, or people into organizations, there will always be interfaces and dependencies between: components and subsystems in the product architecture, between departments in the basic organization, between many different on-going projects, in professional groups, and among individuals who need to share information with others in order to solve problems and produce results. The information is the glue that holds the system together and you have to follow the flow of information.

In this seminar you will get insight in a new approach, Information Driven Management (IDM) and new methods, Dependence Structure Matrix (DSM) and Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM). IDM approach and DSM/DMM methods puts the focus on interdependencies between domains/items such as components in the product architecture, tasks in processes, and people in basic and temporary team settings. Product development is a dynamic process with strong interdependencies between domains such as, customers’ requirements, functional and product specifications, architectural design, manufacturing design, and supply chain design. Each domain both enables and constrains the others and each domain has architecture and a logic. Information is the "glue" within each domain and between domains. Therefore, the flow of information within and between domains is crucial in order to solve the problems of organizing teams, designing modular product structures and define lean development and manufacturing processes.

Tutorial C: Multi-Domain Analysis and Optimization in Product Development

Maik Maurer, TESEON GmbH, Ismaning, Germany

Typically, product development involves many different domains, e.g. components, processes, and people. Even if isolated views on a single domain are helpful for specific applications (e.g. functional modeling in early development phases), the consideration of the overall connectivity is of major importance for planning product adaptations and evaluating resulting consequences. Successfully implemented methods like FMEA or QFD already apply the linking between domains, e.g. of components and functions. However, these approaches represent partial solutions for some specific tasks.

Based on the powerful applications of the Design structure Matrix (DSM) and its supplementing Domain Mapping Matrices (DMMs), recent development provides the methodical enhancement for managing multi-domain networks.

The tutorial introduces the methodical basics of the multi-domain approach and explains its practical application in a systematized process. Required steps are presented by practical use cases from the initial system definition to the final implementation of analysis outcomes. The software tool LOOMEO is presented. It supports users in the entire process, e.g. in data acquisition, structure navigation, analysis, and optimization tasks. Participants of the tutorial receive a fully functional trial-version of the software LOOMEO free of charge.

Participants gain a close insight to the possibilities of managing multi-domain networks as well as to the chances that emerge from controlling complexity in product development.

agent and does not assume any liability for the service and efficiency offered by the hotel.

Rights and Obligations of the Hotel Reservations Contract

1. The contract between the guest and the hotel concerned is considered binding as soon as the room has

been reserved and the reservation confirmed, or in the event of a late booking – as soon as the room has been

reserved.

2. The contract between the guest and hotel when entered into obliges both contractual partners to fulfill all the

contract conditions, regardless of the duration of the contract.

3. The hotel is obligated, in the event that the room booked is not available, to compensate the guest.

4. In the event of an early departure or No-Show, the guest is obliged to pay for the room for the entire period,

less any expenditure saved by the hotel.
