Study Notes
- Design methodologies are structured approaches to the design process, such as Stuart Pugh's Total Design methodology and the UK Design Council's Double Diamond methodology.
- Methodologies can be descriptive (e.g., UK Design Council's Double Diamond) or prescriptive (e.g., Stuart Pugh's Total Design).
- Prescriptive methodologies provide clear steps for the designer to follow systematically, while descriptive methodologies encourage heuristic thinking and discovery.
- Good designers should be familiar with various methodologies to apply the most relevant one to a project.
- Design methods are systematic ways of working that improve design solutions from specific perspectives like safety, manufacturability, or quantity.
- Examples of design methods include Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD).
- Design tools, like CAD/CAM software or House of Quality, support the application of design methods but are distinct from the methods themselves.
