Axiomatic design, an abstract

 

 

Axiomatic product design

 

Innovative product design is need of the hour. Axiomatic product design in a Concurrent Lean Engineering  has emerged as an important tool of product design.  

Axiomatic Design helps the design decision making process. It helps to

 

•make Correct decisions

•Shorten lead time

•Improves quality of products

•Deal with complex systems

•Simplify service and maintenance

•Enhances creativity

 

The ultimate goal of Axiomatic Design is to establish a science base for design and to improve design activities by providing the designer with a theoretical foundation based on logical and rational thought processes and tools.

Axiomatic design offers a scientific base for design in an efficient way. It is well known that it has two axioms: the Independence Axiom and the Information Axiom. Many applications of the Independence Axiom have been published, however, the Information Axiom has been mainly applied to 1FR (functional requirement)-1DP (design parameter) problems.

It will be interesting to see how it is applied to some case studies in industries.
