  • Set-Based Design Method Reflecting the Different Designers’ Intentions 
    Inoue, M.; Ishikawa, H. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    The previous series of the study have proposed a preference set-based design (PSD) method that enables the flexible and robust design under various sources of uncertainties. In contrast to the traditional design method, ...
  • Stanford’s ME310 Course as an Evolution of Engineering Design 
    Carleton, T.; Leifer, L. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    ME310 is a radical course that has been taught at Stanford University since 1967. The year-long course is a graduate level sequence in which student teams work on complex engineering projects sponsored by industry partners. ...
  • Structured Design Automation 
    van Tooren, M. J. L.; van der Elst, S. W. G.; Vermeulen, B. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    The next stage in product development process evolution should be the automation of labour intensive repetitive steps. The design automation strategy should follow the trend of the supply chain management approach and ...
  • A Study on Process Description Method for DFM Using Ontology 
    Hiekata, K.; Yamato, H. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    A method to describe process and knowledge based on RDF which is an ontology description language and IDEF0 which is a formal process description format is proposed. Once knowledge of experienced engineers is embedded ...
  • Supporting Knitwear Design Using Case-Based Reasoning 
    Richards, P.; Ekárt, A. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    Knitwear design is a creative activity that is hard to automate using the computer. The production of the associated knitting pattern, however, is repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone, calling for automation. Our ...
  • Supporting Scenario-Based Product Design: the First Proposal for a Scenario Generation Support Tool 
    Anggreeni, I.; van der Voort, M. C. (Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31)
    Using concrete stories about product or technology use, or ‘scenarios’, is a promising design approach. Nevertheless, design practices face uncertainties especially in the activities of identifying, creating and selecting ...
