TLDR
In this article, the authors describe the design process and design problems and process of the development of a product and evaluate its performance and the effects of variations. And they present a belief map of 25 materials most commonly used in mechanical design.Abstract:

Relating Design Process to Quality: A Virtual Design of Experiments Approach
Durward K. Sobek,Vikas K. Jain +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on better understanding how design processes affect outcomes in mechanical engineering design and find that more time spent on system-level design (including problem generation, idea generation, and analysis activity) and on concept-level problem definition activity associate positively with design quality, while more time was spent on concept level idea generation and detailed design associated negatively with quality.

Interplay of sketching & prototyping in early stage product design
TL;DR: Results showed that individuals who only sketched generated more ideas, explored broader design space, and had more novel final designs, but participants who were allowed to both sketch and build prototypes explored the design space in more depth and tended to have final ideas that were perceived as more creative.

Applying principles of mass customization to improve the empirical product development process
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for applying principles of mass customization to the empirical sub-processes within a product development process and two case studies are presented to demonstrate the method.
