....management, namely Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. 1 Introduction Cooperation within an organization takes place at several hierarchical levels, viz. the technical, the method, and the agent level [Jarke et al. 1994]. To work optimal each level has to be adjusted with the adjacent levels. That means one has two dimensions of integration: the horizontal dimension, integrating concepts within one level, and the vertical dimension, integrating concepts of different levels (cf. figure 1) Single user systems ....

....are briefly outlined. Cooperation in terms of product and process is presented in chapter 4. Chapter 5 discusses how to support the interplay between QFD and FMEA on the agent level. In chapter 6 the advantages of cooperating methods are clarified by an example. 2 State of the Art According to [Jarke et al. 1994], cooperation has to function well on three hierarchical levels, namely the technical, the method, and the agent level. Moreover, techniques on each level have to cooperate with techniques on the adjacent levels. In this chapter we will outline the current state of the art within each level. Our ....

....file systems, CSCW, etc. 16] Cooperation will only then function well and lead to synergy effects, if all these facets are harmonized. A concept to classify these aspects is necessary. Cooperation takes place at several hierarchical levels, viz. the technical, the method, and the user level [14,21]. To work optimally each level has to be adjusted with the other levels. i.e. one has two dimensions of integration: the horizontal dimension, where concepts are integrated within one level, and the vertical dimension, where concepts of different levels are integrated (cf. figure 1) Single user ....

....(or sinks) to be established. In many organizations, the workflows cross the organization s own boundary. Therefore, both distributed engineering as well as distributed operation are necessary to support quality management by an information system. The experiences reported below stem from WibQuS [16], an interdisciplinary project on cooperative quality information systems conducted in Germany between 1992 and 1995. Figure 7 shows the steps of the broker development process, from the basic idea of a quality cycle embedded in the product life cycle, via the definition of a shared meta model and ....

....Specifically, the schema of the server can be evolved from outside. This feature allows the incorporation of an information trader tool which supports schema evolution ## # based on global information not available in any local schema. The approach has been validated in the project WibQuS [JJS93,Pfei96]. The project participants developed autonomous quality management tools. Their information exchange was cooperatively designed and implemented using ConceptBase as information trader. The goal of the WibQuS project was to discover and enact information flow between half a dozen of quality ....

....of support. To achieve this, a number of guidelines for developing M2 models have been identified. These guidelines are not only backed by the specific experiences reported in this paper but also by similar projects using ConceptBase for model integration in scientific and engineering settings [8]: ffl The perspectives and the M2 model have to be jointly optimized as to provide a sufficient overlap in order to provoke the detection of interesting conflicts. The design time idea of orthogonality, present in some object oriented modeling technologies, is not appropriate for understanding ....

The question of how to design and implement such CIS was investigated since 1992 by a consortium of five German engineering centers, an organizational science group, and ourselves in a project called WibQuS 1 [13]. Figure 2 shows how the CIS levels are instantiated in TQM [28] 1 WibQuS is the German abbreviation Knowledge based Systems in Quality Management Market Research Product Concept Layout Design Production Planning Procurement Production Quality Inspection Test Corrective Measures ....
