Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual coding is used to create customized case management tools, then the tools can be tailored to specific needs, but the development time becomes excessively long (one year or longer)
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses pre-defined templates and meta-models that contain standardized case management structures, processes, and workflows. These preliminary configurations allow the system to automatically generate customized case management tools by simply selecting and instantiating appropriate templates, eliminating the need for manual coding while maintaining customization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention copies and instantiates standardized template structures to create customized case management tools. Instead of manually writing code for each customization, the system retrieves pre-validated template patterns and instantiates them with case-specific parameters, significantly reducing development time while preserving adaptability.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual coding is performed for case-specific customized computer code, then the code can be optimized for specific cases, but the development process creates excessive fragmentation of cases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs universal templates and meta-models that can be applied across multiple case types. These standardized frameworks provide a common foundation that reduces case fragmentation by identifying common patterns and structures across different cases, while still allowing case-specific customizations through parameter configuration rather than separate coding efforts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If extensive manual coding is required, then the case management tools can be highly customized, but the productivity of the development process decreases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service configuration where users can select from pre-defined templates and configure parameters to automatically generate customized case management tools. This eliminates the need for developer intervention in the coding process, significantly improving productivity while maintaining the ability to customize tools for specific case needs through intuitive configuration interfaces.
