Product modelling is a key aspect of the concurrent engineering (CE) literature. One problem with the product modelling literature is that it tends to assume that product development always is revolutionary. Very often product development is evolutionary and it means that product modelling should have a major emphasis on reuse. In this paper it is suggested that industrial companies should develop an engineering development Bereitschaft (preparatory engineering knowledge) as an approach to CE and product modelling. To develop such an engineering development Bereitschaft, a company must develop company generic product models. This paper describes the experience gained from a shipyard where an object-oriented product model of a double hull supertanker and a product configurator prototype have been developed. Configuration of the steel structures in a ship and the succeeding productivity evaluation can be done in that way within a week.
