Design theory and conceptual design: contrasting functional decomposition and morphology with parameter analysis

TL;DR: The usefulness and power of parameter analysis are shown through several case studies, its relation to modern design theories, and its applicability to training designers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling the engineering design system to improve performance

TL;DR: The aim is to optimise the synchronisation and coordination of the development of several design projects in an environment with limited resources and satisfy the strategic performance objectives of the enterprise.

Comparing Ideation Techniques for Beginning Designers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the qualities of concepts generated by beginning engineering designers using one of three different idea generation techniques: design heuristics, morphological analysis, or individual brainstorming (using brainstorming rules to generate ideas working alone).
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the use of concept selection methods from inside a company

TL;DR: The research shows that many methods are employed besides those with an academic name, that some in-company methods used contain improvements to methods researched by academia, thatSome modifications to academic methods lead to unreliable results, and that there is a lack of objectivity in method modification.

A case-based framework for reuse of previous design concepts in conceptual synthesis of mechanisms

TL;DR: A case-based approach for reusing previous design concepts in conceptual synthesis of mechanisms by imitating the common design method of reviewing past designs to obtain solution concepts for a new design problem is presented.
