Activities
- Activity 2: Determining functions and their structures
- Activity 3: Searching for solution principles and their solutions
- Activity 5: Subdivision into modules and interface definitions
- Activity 6: Designing the modules
Description
Use of a classification scheme to collect and structure the partial solutions determined for the respective sub-problems (e.g. sub-functions). The morphological box can be used as a basis for the creation of overall solution principles by combining the partial solutions.
Procedure
- List the sub-problems (e.g. sub-functions) in the header column of the table
- Sort the most specific sub-problems to the top
- Assign the partial solutions line by line to the corresponding sub-problems
- Combine partial solutions taking into account their compatibility
