Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the highly influential role design plays in product development by studying how practitioners approach design procedures and how these processes can be represented in a way that both reveals their strengths and weaknesses and suggests improvements. The techniques and insights offered in this book fill an important gap in the literature on design and provide much-needed tools for improving the design process. It positions design as a critical factor in the development of new products, and one that has an outsized impact on the viability of any product in the marketplace. The author examines the historical development of three commonly used design activity models and surveys them critically to identify any shortcomings. The iterative nature of the design process is a central focus, and the author presents various models and examples that reveal how information flows during design procedures. One type of quantitative model based on the precedence matrix is presented in an example. The book closes with an enhanced representation that seeks to overcome the limitations of existing models by incorporating a measure of interdependence that more accurately reflects real-world design processes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
