‘Signposting’, A Parameter-driven Task-based Model of the Design Process
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter-based model of design is proposed, based on the assumption that a design process can be constructed from a predefined set of tasks, supported by knowledge of possible tasks in which the confidence in key design parameters is used as a basis for identifying, or signposting, the next task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Product variety optimization under modular architecture
TL;DR: In this paper, product variety design is discussed under an optimization viewpoint, and two typical optimization examples are demonstrated through aircraft design for simultaneous optimal attribute assignment and through design of television receiver circuits for optimal module combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of environmental aspects in product development: a stepwise procedure based on quantitative life cycle assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a professional method intended for managers based on quantitative life cycle assessment to identify environmental ‘hot spots’ in a reference product's life cycle and to select new environmentally optimized solutions for a new product.
Journal ArticleDOI
A treatise on order in engineering design research
TL;DR: A framework of reasoning was constructed, including source, channel, and sink categories of knowledge and research of engineering design, respectively, which enables a grounded argumentation about the order ofengineering design research, as well as about the articulation of the engineering design knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refined metrics for measuring ideation effectiveness
TL;DR: Flaws in the variety metric are described and a new metric is proposed to evaluate the quality of design space exploration during concept generation, enabling application of a single metric to compare idea generation processes and methodologies.
