Abstract
The subject of design and manufacturing has received increasing attention in practically all industrialized countries. Ever increasing competition has forced most manufacturing organizations to rethink the process by which they create new products and improve existing ones. The following paper attempts to describe the traditional product evolution cycle by reviewing historic as well as modern methods of product design and manufacturing. Several limitations and constraints in the traditional process are identified and related to new methods currently under development at Carnegie Mellon’s Engineering Design Research Center, a National Science Foundation Center.
Portions of this paper were presented by the author at the Christopher Hinton Lecture, London, England, 1991 and UCLA’s Design Management Conference, September, 1992.
