Abstract

The objective in this chapter is to introduce and review the design foundations based on which the systems-based design architecture for integrated design of materials, products, and manufacturing processes design is developed. Besides the underlying decision-based design , systems design, and robust design approaches, methods and tools reviewed are classified in terms of concept, application to design process, and value in design.
