by Henry W. Stoll
This compendium of product design methods focuses on functional, aesthetically
pleasing, mechanically reliable, and easily made products that improve
profitability for manufacturers and provide long-term satisfaction for customers.
Offers concrete, practical insight immediately applicable to new product
design and development projects!
A useful resource for practicing design and manufacturing professionals who
wish to improve their products and their realization processes, Product Design
Methods and Practices
- integrates fundamental engineering design principles with management “best practices”
- discusses modern design techniques, including design for assembly, analytical optimization, the Taguchi method, and probabilistic design
- presents numerous case studies and practical examples to illustrate design methods and concepts
- considers the complex interplay between product performance, product quality, and manufacturing productivity
- clarifies how to design for cost, quality, and delivery
- provides original design methods such as process-driven design, manufacturability improvement, standardization and rationalization, and design review checklist
- emphasizes basing design requirements on customer need
- stresses the importance of predicting and preventing failure to ensure reliability and durability
- describes how robustness is achieved by designing products to be tolerant of change and variation in manufacturing, operating, and business conditions
- shows that low life-cycle cost is attained by designing products to be easily manufactured, assembled, tested, serviced, and maintained
- and more!
