In applying quality management (QM) methods, as for instance the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in the field of complex mechatronic systems, it is necessary to visually illustrate the system to be examined to all members of the interdisciplinary team. Using Virtual Reality (VR) in combination with QM methods creates conditions that help the team to improve the application of QM methods considerably. VR is particularly suitable to visualize complex mechanical systems due to its realistic three-dimensional presentation of single components, assemblies, and complete systems in combination with the interaction in all six degrees of freedom. The present article presents goals and results of a research project at Chemnitz University of Technology. One result is that all members of the interdisciplinary team easily gain insight into the stage of development when FMEA is supported by Virtual Reality.References

- Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See The Effect of Open Access).
The copyediting stage is intended to improve the flow, clarity, grammar, wording, and formatting of the article. It represents the last chance for the author to make any substantial changes to the text because the next stage is restricted to typos and formatting corrections. The file to be copyedited is in Word or .rtf format and therefore can easily be edited as a word processing document. The set of instructions displayed here proposes two approaches to copyediting. One is based on Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature and requires that the copy editor, editor, and author have access to this program. A second system, which is software independent, has been borrowed, with permission, from the Harvard Educational Review. The journal editor is in a position to modify these instructions, so suggestions can be made to improve the process for this journal.
