“…For example, the "Six Sigma" methodology (Breyfogle, 2003) for product and process improvement had the RD principles and methodology at its core, seeking to systematically identify and quantify the sources of variation and implement effective controls for variability in key output variables. On this basis, RD research has evolved into a variety of different fields over time, largely benefiting also from incorporating expertise in other long-established research fields such as precision engineering (Hansen, 1970;Höhne et al, 2005, Harfensteller et al, 2022. Examples of this diverse understanding are RD methods for an early assessment of product robustness (Götz et al, 2020), network-topological metrics to describe the robustness of engineering systems (Haley et al, 2015), or the assessment of visual robustness (Forslund and Söderberg, 2010).…”

Robust Design offers a coherent and widely appreciated approach for the parametric exploration of the design space by means of simulation or experimentation, which is well-established in the quality-by design domain. From the perspective of design research, however, this only addresses a relatively narrow part of the design process and is not fully integrated with other design decisions such as concept exploration, the suitable configuration of system elements, or the design of interfaces. Particularly in light of the growing importance of developing technologically advanced and “smart” systems, it seems that a new methodical perspective on Robust Design is needed. Against this background, this paper consolidates knowledge and insights from different research fields and industry sectors. On this basis, new angles to the discussion on product robustness in different domains are explored in order to suggests directions for action and new research areas, both with respect to a methodical RD approach as well as the question of systematic research procedures.
