Readers of System Design Optimization for Product Manufacturing will learn about detailed concepts and practical technologies that enable successful product design and manufacture. These concepts and technologies are based on system optimization methodologies that consider a broad range of mechanical, as well as human, factors.
System Design Optimization for Product Manufacturing explains the methodologies behind current and future product manufacture. Its detailed explanations of key concepts are relevant not only for product design and manufacture, but also for other business fields. These core concepts and methodologies can be applied to practically any field where informed decision-making is important, and where a range of often conflicting factors must be carefully weighed and considered.
System Design Optimization for Product Manufacturing can be used as a fundamental reference book by both engineers and students in the fields of manufacturing, design engineering, and product development.
List of contents
Progression of Product Manufacturing Technologies.- Evaluative Criteria for Product Manufacturing and Optimization Fundamentals.- Technologies for Product Manufacturing Innovation.- Involvement of People in Product Manufacturing.- Product Manufacturing Support Technologies.- Optimization Technologies for Product Manufacturing.- Decision-making Methods.- Design Optimization for Creativity and Balance.
