    Definition of Design

    Engineering design is the process of devising a system,component, or process to meet desired needs.It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basicsciences and mathematics, and engineering sciences are appliedto convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.Among the fundamental elements of the design process are theestablishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis,construction, testing, and evaluation.

    Step 1: Recognizing the Need

    Sandra: Jane, we need you to design a stronger bumper for ournew passenger car.Jane: Why do we need a stronger bumper?Sandra: Well, our current bumper gets easily damaged inlow-speed collisions, such as those that occur in parking lots.Jane: Well, a stronger bumper may be the way to go, but theremay be better approaches. For example, what about a moreflexible bumper that absorbs the impact but then returns to itsoriginal shape?Sandra: I never thought of that. I guess I was jumping toconclusions. Lets restate the need as there is too much damageto bumpers in low-speed collisions. That should give you moreflexibility in exploring alternative design.

    Step 5: Conceptualizing alternative approaches

    MotivationA filtering methodology at the conceptual stage that wouldcleverly filter-out less prospective design variants

    The aim is to reduce the set of design variants. To come up with asingle design solution is too limited

    BenefitWill cut the development cost and time

    Does a smooth nonlinear function exist? Minimize the number ofFRs and constraints.The design matrix is more a binary matrixUncoupled design may lead to weak design, i.e., design matrixwith high condition numberDo we really need decoupling?What about units?

    The roots of poor quality in goods or services are to be found inthe sensitivity of these to variations in operation conditions(Taguchi, 78).The design of a mechanism is robust when its performance is aslittle sensitive to variations in design variables and designenvironment parameters as possible (Caro, 03).
