Georgia Institute of Technology! Atlanta! USA Informationen zum Autor Vijitashwa Pandey Klappentext In a presentation that formalizes what makes up decision-based design, this books defines the major concepts that go into product realization. It presents major concepts in design decision making in an integrated way and covers the fundamentals of decision analysis in engineering design. It also trains engineers to understand the impacts of design decisions. This book teaches most fundamental concepts encountered in engineering design, such as concept generation, multiattribute decision analysis, reliability engineering, design optimization, simulation, and demand modeling.
