Product Design The discovery of market needs and the manufacture of a product to meet those needs are integral parts of the same process. Since most textbooks on new product development are written from either a marketing or an engineering perspective it is important for students to encounter these two aspects of product development together in a single text. Product Design: Practical Methods for the Systematic Development of New Products covers the entire new product development process from market research through concept design embodiment design design for manufacture and product launch. Systematic and practical in its approach the text offers both a structured management framework for product development and an extensive range of specific design methods. Chapters feature Design Toolkits that provide detailed guidance on systematic design methods present examples with familiar products and conclude with reviews of key concepts. This major text aims to turn the often haphazard and unstructured product design process into a quality-controlled streamlined and manageable procedure. It is ideal for students of engineering design and technology on their path to designing new products. GBP 175.00 1

Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design The biggest challenge in any marketplace is uncertainty. The major changes taking place in world economies politics and demographics has raised market uncertainty to its highest level in the past 50 years. However with new markets opening up in emerging and developing economies the opportunities have never been better. To compete in this challenging atmosphere product design/redesign and manufacturing must be integrated to produce better quality products faster and cheaper. Design Synthesis: Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design provides a conceptual framework and methodologies to do just that. The book explains how to integrate innovative product design with the design of a batch manufacturing system. It covers the technical and social aspects of integration presents research and best practices and embeds integration within a framework of sustainable development. It covers the two methods for achieving design synthesis: integration and harmonisation. Product manufacturing system and social system architectures are integrated (united or combined to form a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts). The concurrent processes to design the architectures are harmonised (made compatible or coincident with one another). Wide in scope the book supplies a multi-disciplinary perspective and an extensive discussion on how to maintain integrity during the design process. The authors present research and practices that are difficult or almost impossible to find.
