Seven observations and research questions about Open Design ... cambridge.org Oct 19, 2021 17 facts
referenceProcedural models such as the Vee model of systems engineering (VDI 2004) and the systematic approach to product development (Pahl et al. 2007; VDI 1993) were developed based on experience from large-scale projects in the space, transportation, and building sectors.
claimPractices characterized by citizen involvement in product and technology development are often referred to as Open Design.
claimAitamurto and Hussain (2015) suggest that different forms of openness may be utilized at different times within the same product development project.
claimProduct development in OSSD and OSPD is characterized as an ongoing process of continuous improvement by a community rather than a project with defined inputs, outputs, and timelines.
perspectiveWhile the sequence of development phases like conceptual, embodiment, and detailed design may be conserved in Open Design, it may challenge configurational aspects of the Product Development Process (PDP) and require new explicative and prescriptive design process models.
claimAitamurto, Holland, and Hussain (2015) suggest that adopting product openness is more useful in later phases of the product development process, such as prototyping and testing.
claimOpen Design is unlikely to challenge the core premises of well-established design theories and models, despite its differences from conventional product development.
claimBecause different phases of the product development process focus on different intermediary objects, they require different supporting IT tools, making it difficult to sustain an Open Source Product Development (OSPD) process within a single tool from beginning to end.
claimOpen Design is a term created by scholars to comment on new forms of product development, whereas Open Source Hardware is a term that emerged from practice and was coined by hardware developers to indicate compliance with the ethos of the open source movement.
claimAitamurto, Holland, and Hussain (2015) suggest that crowdsourcing is particularly helpful in the need-finding phases of the product development process, as it can yield novel solutions that require expert feasibility checks.
claimOpenness in product development is increasingly gathering attention from pioneering businesses, policy makers, and the general public, driven by civil society's desire for technological independence and advancements in information and production technologies.
claimAitamurto, Holland, and Hussain (2015) suggest that different forms of Open Design are appropriate for different phases of the product development process.
claimConventional product development uses patents to disclose information, which forces competitors to develop products further to remain competitive.
claimGrassroots initiatives are challenging the separation of tasks institutionalized by the industrial revolutions and are reclaiming rights over product development and production.
claimProcess openness is defined by the governance and coordination of the product development process.
claimThe Open Source Ecology project, a spearhead Open Source Product Development (OSPD) project, demonstrated that forcing stage-gate-like Product Development Process (PDP) models into an open source development community has limited potential.
claimPublic innovation, also referred to as downloadable design, is the free revealing of product-related information after the completion of a closed product development process.

accountThe dataset used for the experimentation described in the paper was collected from consulting companies operating in diverse domains including power, medicine, finance, and gaming, covering both consulting services and product development.
claimDisconnected data silos within enterprises, such as emails, calendars, documents, and activity logs, obstruct the extraction of actionable insights and diminish efficiency in workflows like product development, client engagement, meeting preparation, and analytics-driven decision-making.

Open Hardware Licenses - P2P Foundation Wiki wiki.p2pfoundation.net Jun 17, 2015 1 fact
perspectiveThe author of the P2P Foundation Wiki article on Open Hardware Licenses argues that the primary difficulty in product development lies in manufacturing and distribution rather than the schematic, making the fear of competitors stealing designs less significant than creators often assume.
