Applying axiomatic design methodology in developing modified liberation products

Abstract

Some conceptual elements regarding the axiomatic design method were applied to a specific case-study regarding developing modified liberation compressed product (CLM-UN), for use in the agricultural sector as pH regulating agent in soil. The study was orientated towards defining functional requirements, design parameters and process variables for manufacturing the product. Independence and information were evaluated, supporting axiomatic design as an alternative for integral product and process design (as a rational and systemic exercise), facilitating producing products having the quality which future users expect from them.
