Selection design: Most designs employ standard component such as bearings, small
motors/pumps. In this case design task consists of selecting the component with the needed
performance, quality and cost from the catalogs of potential vendors
Industrial design: This form of design deals with improving the appeal of a product to the
human sense especially its visual appeal. This type of design is more artistic than engineering.

Redesign?
Most of the new products are not completely new inventions but are new applications and
combinations of existing technologies

Design Problems
`
Design is multidisciplinary

Every element of a design problem contains and is contained within, another related of that
design problem
The concept of nesting is similar to series of nested boxes or onion like concentric shells
Design problem
can be divided into four basic types
Linear technical problems
Linear procedural problems
Closed problems
Nested problems
All design problems can be subdivided into one or more likely some
Procedural elements have an important part to play in many design situations: design costing,
project management, value engineering and quantitative design techniques such as failure
mode analysis and reliability assessment are influenced by procedure
Consider a problem of poor interchangeability
Left hand end represents the given information(components for which interchangeability has
been found to be poor) and the left to right path the solution to this problem
Find following three constrains , they are procedural not technical
Measurement: interchangeability problems can be solved easily by measuring the components.
But on real vehicle assembly line there is insufficient time for 100 % measurement
Product range: Best solution would be to make and sell only a single vehicle model, but
commercially not a viable
Quality Assurance: QA principles can be used to address poor interchangeability problems. .
However they are encapsulated in such as ISO 9000 series of standards which cover many
different technologies
Use established procedural techniques such as costing methods, QA and various quantitative
techniques
Closed Problems
Comprise a range of problems rather than a single identifiable type
Applicable to two groups of design problems; failure investigation and new product
development
Examples
Design a more user-friendly keyboard
Better design for the failure of high intensity halogen bulbs
No hint of the content of the expected
solutions or even of their form
Where to start?
when to finish?
Despite the simplistic look of closed problems, they only appear simple because the
complexity is hidden, not because it does not exist!
Closed problems have high complexity
Use estimates and order of magnitude assessments rather than exact calculations
Nested Problems
Nested technical level
Common model for closed failure
