1. Problem Solving & Concept Development By: Dennis Vervoorn January 2013 Team presentation

2. Dedicated team since beginning of 2011 Shared passion for concept development Shared frustration with common development processes; o Little investment in concept development, heavy investments in engineering and tool manufacturing o Deadlines and high pressure, only to achieve mediocre end results o Project management in a linear fashion / waterfall approach o Hardly any room for plot turns, scope changes or spin-off opportunities Team introduction

3. Ambitions Team Team introduction Stimulate creativity Think out-of-the-box Think out-of-the-box Deviate from the beaten path Find breakthrough solutions Realize true innovation and… turn such ideas into true value for our clients. and… turn such ideas into true value for our clients.

5. Services Creative Session / Phase results: Solutions within scope (can be directly embedded in project) Solutions out-of-scope (modify project definition or allow parallel activities) Spin-off opportunities

6. Case examples Team Session / Second Opinion Exploring alternative technologies for solving one contradiction that could not be solved in five car grill actuation concepts developed within MCi. The team managed to present a solution that could solve the contradiction. The second opinion was valuable for MCi because it confirmed that MCI could either change the scope or accept not meeting the requirement.

7. RILA Complete mechanical development of RILA, an innovative rail track measuring system that can be mounted onto a regular passenger train. The development included the carbon composite housing and GPS antenna, two different stainless steel coupling adapters and various manufacturing tools for optimization of lead time and production tolerances.

8. Fall Pipe Coupling Technology development for enabling sea deposits on a depth of 2000m. Any normal system would yield under its own weight. The team of CE Masters invented the Balljonet Coupling. This revolutionary concept features a double row bajonet coupling (reducing contact pressures to acceptable levels for high- strenght aluminium) which also functions as a ball joint, allowing the segments to move in deep sea water currents.

9. NedTrain de-icing tools Concept development, function development and engineering of dedicated tools for removing ice from trains, enabling service activities in winter time. Brainstorm sessions with TRIZ keywords resulted in numerous solutions. By heavy involvement of NedTrain service personnel the best possible solutions have been selected, developed and tested.
