Abstract
Virtual prototyping (VP) is increasingly applied during
product development processes in industry. This paper
investigates if the use of VP supports design reviews and
identifies critical issues related to it. In addition, it
illustrates a systematic approach for VP design review
preparation. Studies were conducted on two cases in the
rock crushing industry. Data was collected by
observations and using questionnaires. Based on results,
VP was seen to be suitable for supporting design reviews
and cooperation between participating stakeholders. In
addition, it enhanced the first-hand experience of the
use context for design engineers. The use of the
systematic approach for the preparation of VP design
reviews highlighted the importance of the goal setting
for the review meetings: it can improve or decrease the
quality of the VP design review results. The systematic
approach to VP design review preparation can be used by
industry and also by the research community.
