Description
 
“This book is a ‘must read’ for engineering managers and other technical leaders in an organisation and compelling reading for the lead innovators in an organisation. The authors describe the comprehensive framework of the most powerful methods to help organisations, their management, innovators and inventors to “leap frog” to superior technical innovation capabilities and results.”




—James R Norton, Managing Director, BLN Associates



Focusing on six steps for effective innovation, this volume presents guidelines for a new world class approach to developing technologies.



By using this unique method, you will be able to: create innovations that you would not otherwise create, develop innovations in shorter times, make innovations with high inherent reliability and smoothly transfer innovations into product commercialization

Description


Whether you are an engineer facing decisions in product design, an instructor or student engaged in course work, or a researcher exploring new options and opportunities, you can turn to Decision Making in Engineering Design for:



—Foundations and fundamentals of making decisions in product design;



—Clear examples of effective application of Decision-Based Design;



—State-of-the-art theory and practice in Decision-Based Design;



—Thoughtful insights on validation, uncertainty, preferences, distributed design, demand modeling, and other issues;



—End-of-chapter exercise problems to facilitate learning.



With this advanced text, you become current with research results on DBD developed since the inception of The Open Workshop on Decision-Based Design, a project funded by the National Science Foundation

 Description

This is the first English edition of an established work on cost-driven product design and development. It offers tried and tested methods for understanding, influencing, and reducing product costs. The methodology and organization of cost management, as well as the effects on each type of cost are described. Using this knowledge the product developer can assume responsibility for costs.



The discussion on the methods of cost reduction and cost-driven design draw heavily on the “Systematic Method of Design,” an approach whereby the design process is divided into the phases of task clarification, concept development, preliminary design (embodiment) and the detailed layout. Design is the core of the coordinated process of modern product development, which falls under the concept of “Concurrent Engineering.” This book stresses the collaboration of the different departments in a company, which is essential for the development of reliable and low-cost products.



The numerous examples and detailed derivation of results provide the practical user with problem solutions and hints. Methods such as Target Costing and Simultaneous Engineering are described. Thus the book will also help the specialist who does not have the overview of the complex interrelationships in the enterprise. The work is also suited for students, as well as for practicing engineers.
