Abstract

One of the most important research issues in the product design and development field is concerned with the emergence of organizational undesirable behaviors caused by product architecture innovations. These undesired effects occur when the architectural innovation requires, for example, the training and acquisition of new skills. If those are not accomplished in the right time the product quality will deteriorate, affecting negatively the organization. For this reason research is being developed to predict and mitigate the undesirable behaviors, but this is not an easy task, because it requires the creation of an evolutionary process applicable on complex and large engineering systems, such as the product design and development organization. The objective of this chapter is to propose a framework for the development of this evolutionary process.
