Zusatztext "The book is about a relevant issue for competitive manufacturing: the integration of product design and manufacturing system design. ... The book provides both a conceptual framework and methodologies for the integrated design of product! manufacturing and social system architectures! and for the harmonisation of the concurrent processes needed to design the architectures. ... For the contents and the style of presentation! as well as some new critical perspectives! I recommend the book to senior undergraduate students and even to postgraduate engineers and managers. I think that the book is also a good starting point to reflect on the research needs for approaches and methodologies specifically designed to support the product and the manufacturing system life cycle in small and medium enterprises. In this concern! young researchers may find the book a nice reading in order to stimulate further investigation."-Marco Macchi! in Production Planning & Control! 2016! Vol. 27!
