Abstract

The aim of this research is to generate an Integrated Product Development (IPD) model aimed specifically at developing aircraft food dispensing machines (AFDM) to be retrofitted into the galley of a commercial aircraft. The developed model, recognised as AFDM_IPD, consists of six phases and although it is based on already established design and IPD principles, it is being represented in a completely unique way, through a simple IDEF0 modeling language syntax. The major benefit of using IDEF0 is that it applies dynamic information into the model to handle problems involving parallel activities.

Keywords: product development strategies, concurrent engineering, IDEF0 modelling, design for product life-phases
