Notes:
The initial investigations are presented into three equipment design and manufacturecompanies, and their issues relating to information loss and inaccuracies, and present theemployment of an extended product model framework to assist the engineers in overcoming theissues identified. Three key scientific issues in this field are addressed. They are the customerdriven goals and practices, design change capture and product models, and the methodologyemployed to answer the problem stated. The information generated during the service engineer’svisit and the redesign process is encapsulated within a new ExProMod, so that it could potentiallybe revisited and retrieved throughout the whole product life. A case study has shown that theproposed ExProMod is able to record the information generated in a constraint-baseddesign/redesign so that it has the capability to assist the designers to assimilate and digestconstraint-based design, assist the designers to assimilate and digest constraint-based design, offerinformation management benefits for the machine redesign in the industry, and Presents a tool tocapture redesign changes and their respective rationale. In addition, the directions for futureresearch are also prospected
