Engineering design, using models, frameworks, and algorithms, has shortened development cycles, improved quality, and spans tasks from customer needs to sustainable manufacturing, with relevance to industry and service sectors such as health care. The book seeks to present a process‑oriented view that uniformly addresses problems across the entire product life cycle. It teaches process modeling, reengineering, team organization, design for manufacturing, tolerance design, modularity, and negotiation, emphasizing modeling and analysis applicable to engineering and business disciplines.
From the Publisher: Written by a world class expert in engineering design, this book introduces the reader to models, frameworks, methodologies, and algorithms that have been applied with great success in industry. These approaches have significantly reduced product development cycle time and improved product and process quality and reliability. Engineering design impacts a wide range of tasks, beginning with the recognition of customer needs and ending with environmentally friendly manufacturing and material reclamation. Engineering Design: Products, Processes, and Systems is unique in presenting a process view that allows for uniform treatment of problems and issues over the entire product life cycle. The reader will acquire a complete understanding of process modeling methodologies, process reengineering, organization of design teams, design for manufacturing, and problem solving from tolerance design to product modularity and negotiation among members of the design team. The book is liberally illustrated with industrial case studies and examples and is written to meet the needs of senior undergraduate and graduate students, designers, systems analysts, software engineers, managers, and other practitioners. With its emphasis on modeling and analysis of the design process, the book is of interest to numerous disciplines, including industrial, mechanical, electrical, systems, and software engineering, as well as to various business areas such as operations management and management science. Significant portions of the material apply to the service sector, including health care.
