This article focuses on complaints which appear in the development phase. If during the production, specific methodologies regarding the complaints management for control and analysis are defined, then in the development phase these become more sensitive. Therefore a new method of using TRIZ in validation of the corrective permanent actions, before being implemented on the product, is proposed.
Opportunities for the European Certification of the Integrated Designer and Entrepreneur Professions

The Integrated Design Engineer training program is based on seven skills unit: the Reasons for Integration in Design, the Targets of Integration in Design, Essential Methods of Integration in Design, Mastering Complexity in Integrated Design, Collaborative Integrated Design, and Selected Aspects of Integration. The Research-Entrepreneur training program consists of six skills unit as: Understanding the Entrepreneurship, Shaping Ideas, Innovation Transfer, Knowledge Networking, Empowerment by Learning Organization Environments and General Subjects. The training program is based on skills unit: that have been detailed in skills elements and corresponding performance criteria. Finally, the main opportunities for Romanian are presented taking into consideration the ECQA schema and the defined training program.

These processes are supported by an e-learning platform developed by the European Certification and Qualification Association in the last ten years. After a brief description of the Research-Entrepreneur skill card definition there are presented the skills acquisition within the platform, the methodology of the skill sets provision and the qualification and certification procedures. Also, the link with a national e-learning platform in the same field is described.
Process and product innovation needs integrated engineering collaboration skills

Engineering teams are becoming more and more interdisciplinary and distributed, products and the environments they are created, used and recycled in are increasingly complex. Design engineers, system architects as well as requirements engineers and managers have to be able to understand the product and its whole lifecycle in order to be able to respect the constraints and requirements that are imposed on the product by different actors. Many of these skills have to be developed and improved in the course of a professional career rather than in initial education. This paper gives insight into the development of one component of a consistent qualification and certification scheme, which is in its entirety particularly targeted at Integrated Design Engineers in various industrial sectors.

The research results show only the preliminary opinions (collected through the trainees/employees feedback) about the SPI efforts and how could the knowledge pool generated by the CertiBPM training program, to support these efforts. First, there will be explained briefly the SPI concept and its impact upon the modern companies. Also, the SPI Manifesto initiative will be described as a good practice, a Community of Practice that have been developed in relation with the EuroSPI series of conferences of ECQA, to support SPI general trend and standard implementation. The context of this paper is defined by the CertiBPM project activities of research and development of a qualification and certification program using the ECQA schema and guidelines. Feedback was collected (after each training unit, element) after 6 days of training sessions in Business Process Management field, with a large group of employees and students (67 people trained) from the West Region of Romania. The debates and employees answers analysis allow us to make an inventory and to describe the initiated process improvement (SPI efforts and strategies) in important companies from the West Region of Romania. The presented paper is linked with the research activities of the project: CertiBPM-Certified Business Process Manager LLP-LdV/TOI/10/RO/010, founded with support from the European Commission.

Through the designed training and certification program, managers will develop their professional competencies in order to better identify, document, measure, analyze and manage, sustainable business processes in their companies. The proposed approach includes the learning materials development together with the certification procedure supported by the European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA). The preliminary research phase consists of the marketing needs identification based on several focus groups developed with companies’ representatives from the West and Central Regions of Romania. The expected research results consist of the Leadership in Sustainability (LeadSUS) certification and qualification program that will be tested and validated through several train...
A New Functional Approach to Support Fmea Method in Product Conceptual Design
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a qualitative method that basically consists in identifying... more Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a qualitative method that basically consists in identifying and listing all potential failure modes during the design process and it is one of the design evaluation procedures. In conceptual design stages FMEA can be applied through a functional analysis and following a top-down approach. The new products functions are increasingly more and more complex. This complexity creates the need to employ not a single method or approach to solve a specific problem but methods and approaches, combined, to see the specific problems from a combined perspective. In this sense in order to deploy a FMEA, the failures and their effects identification, in this paper is proposed a functional approach based on functional analysis techniques and functional modeling approach from TRIZ. Applying to functions resulted from an external an internal functional analysis a functional modeling, it can be followed more easily the harmful functions and their effects and thus ...

One of the most important activities that are carried out on the project is the quotation phase. After receiving a Request for Quotation, the estimation of effort and cost and also the profitability calculation for the new project is needed. Both, under and over estimation of the project, may cause losses for the business. Due to carry over of the projects, action requested by the customers, quotation is not precisely done. By introducing the project standardizations, based on the level of novelty, the estimation of cost and effort can be improved.
