Robust Design Methodology in a Generic Product Design Process

Mechanisms and coherences of robust design methodology: a robust design process proposal

“…To support this, the RDP is defined in a way that it is decoupled from existing generic development models and it is the intent that the RDP is applicable at any stage of the development process. In agreement with that, work by Hasenkamp et al (2007) shows that certain RD methods can be used in various phases of a generic PDP.…”

Improvement in Product Development: Use of back-end data to support upstream efforts of Robust Design Methodology

“…Adopting RDM in product development is widely dependent on front-end data such as new customer wants and needs (Hasenkamp et al, 2007). The wants and needs of current customers in the form of dissatisfaction feedback or back-end data are most often not taken into consideration (Fundin and Elg, 2010).…”

“…RDM is to be ideally applied throughout all stages of a product creation process, where insensitiveness to variations, or noise factors, are applied through systematic efforts (Arvidsson and Gremyr, 2008). A product creation process here indicates the typical stages of design, manufacture and usage (Hasenkamp et al, 2007). RDM has been widely perceived as a useful methodology during the product design stage (Park, 1996) in an attempt to create insensitivity to potential variations to be encountered at later stages of production and usage.…”

Engineering Design for Six Sigma—a systematic approach

“…To foster thinking in terms of robustness Hasenkamp et al 53 54 provide RDM practices for each phase of an SEDP. At this stage they recommend to focus on the customer and they suggest QFD as a suitable tool for this task.…”
