Study Notes
- Product Design Specification (PDS) is crucial in product development, defining what the product needs to do and customer requirements.
- PDS should reflect market and customer research findings, including realistic design constraints and targets.
- Concept evaluation involves rating concepts on a scale of 1-5, combining and improving concepts, and selecting the best ones.
- Various concept selection methods include controlled convergence matrix, weighting and rating matrices, and multi-voting.
- Design for X (DfX) refers to methods to improve product development for specific objectives like safety, reliability, and cost.
- Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs.
- Creativity involves generating new ideas, while innovation is successfully implementing these ideas in a business-like manner.
- Controversies around sustainable development include balancing social, economic, and environmental aspects and their interdependency.
