CDR SHARE Scenario

TASK: You are an entrepreneur considering a new business opportunity. The design, prototyping and manufacture of a "near-cutting-edge-technology" product figures prominently in your business vision. However, nothing is more important than being "first-to-market".

ISSUES:

Of the many factors that must be considered, let's examine the following issues for three product scenarios.
  1. WHAT is the state-of-the-art and WHO owns it?
  2. WHAT are the required supporting technologies and WHO owns them?
  3. HOW should the product team be organized and by WHOM?
  4. HOW should the design-development process be managed and documented and by WHOM?
  5. HOW should the product be manufactured and by WHOM?
  6. HOW should the product be distributed and by WHOM?
  7. HOW should the enterprize be financed and by WHOM?

DEMONSTRATION PRODUCTS:

  1. Electronic Design Notebooks
  2. Smart Doors
  3. Environmental Study Bio-Reactors

GETTING STARTED:

Try using the "Mechatronic Engineering Design Services" to explore the issues using the CDR SHARE DesignNet for these products in two ways:
browsing and keyword search with WAIS.
Hint: Electronic Multimedia Document services offer keyword searchs that cover design documents for mechatronic devices such as smart doors and bio-reactors.
