“…Saravi et al (2008) cite Ullman (2003) and then Corbett (1986) and Mileham et al (1993). Saravi et al interpretation of Corbett is wrong and their addition of Mileham et al as a reference is redundant because the latter refer only to Corbett (and they do it correctly) as their support of the IISP.…”

“…Saravi et al interpretation of Corbett is wrong and their addition of Mileham et al as a reference is redundant because the latter refer only to Corbett (and they do it correctly) as their support of the IISP. Corbett (1986) does not really deal with the IISP but mentions a study by Rolls Royce (Symon and Dangerfield 1980). This paper seems to be the only one accessible with firsthand information.…”

“…During normal design activity, where reducing cost is the main focus the design function generates 80% of the manufacturing cost (Corbett et al, 1991). It is therefore reasonable to expect the design function to implement sustainability techniques as part of the design focus alongside cost reduction.…”

New engineering products require designing before manufacture, the driving fundamental for which is normally that of cost. The product must be able to be produced as cheaply as possible to increase the profit margin. It is increasingly important to consider environmental issues so that new products incorporate a 'low environmental impact'. The novel approach presented introduces the design function as the only function within the whole product creation process that can define, direct and apply the principles of sustainability. This paper reviews sustainability principles and enhances the design and manufacture model to encompass the whole life of the product from sourcing to disposal. The life cycle approach is well known but the novel sustainability approach presented considers six 'life phases' applying the principles of engineering design to each phase. The management concept has been developed of 'total design control' where it is the design function which controls and specifies all six life phases.

“… The most realistic estimate results in the most economical project cost. 70 to 80% of the product cost is said to be committed by the end of the conceptual design stage [2]. Therefore, it is important to estimate and optimise costs as early as possible since any changes during production are usually very costly.…”

“…Many authors [2, 3, and 12] have pointed out the importance of cost estimation at the design stage. Corbett [2] indicates that 80% of a product cost is committed during the early design stage. Mileham [4] states 70-80% of a product cost is determined during the Instructions for the Preparation of a Camera-ready Manuscript 3 early design stage.…”

Abstract. In the highly competitive business environment, cost estimation is a strategic tool, which can be used to assist decision making with regard to products throughout their life cycle. 70 to 80 percent of the life-cycle costs of a product are determined by decision taken by designers during the early design stages. Therefore it is important to estimate and optimise cost as early and as accurately as possible. The main aim of this research is to use typically available information at the conceptual stage of design and estimate cost in order to optimise design in terms of performance and cost. The main objective is to employ Design of Experiments (Taguchi method) to use the sparse information more effectively in order to estimate the cost of a product at the early design stage. This paper presents the current status of the research activity. A case study is introduced which illustrates the initial applications of the optimization process. Conclusions are then discussed and the future research described.
