“…For instance, the mass production paradigm pioneered by Henry Ford resulted in the concepts of building products on assembly lines, using of interchangeable parts, and standardization of parts and components with a view toward reducing product cost (Bralla, 1996;Cross, 1989;Green, 1966;Lacey, 1986;Ziemke and Spann, 1993). Customers' demand for high quality products prompted manufacturing companies to consider quality as their key product design goal (Akiyama, 1991;Taguchi et al, 1989).…”

“…With simultaneous engineering, tasks overlap; resulting in a gain of time can be devoted to other activities of the design process and product development [16]. This vision of the engineering process, originally developed during World War II [17], is still valid. In this section, we use the term "concurrent engineering" to refer to issues related to competitive factors, concerns and constraints derived from downstream business process design and development [18].…”

Abstract:Objective:This paper deals with the design and the optimization of mechatronic devices. Introduction:Comparing with existing works, the design approach presented in this paper aims to integrate optimization in the design phase of complex mechatronic systems in order to increase the efficiency of this method. Methods:To solve this problem, a novel mechatronic system design approach has been developed in order to take the multidisciplinary aspect and to consider optimization as a tool that can be used within the embodiment design process to build mechatronic solutions from a set of solution concepts designed with innovative or routine design methods. Conclusions:This approach has then been applied to the design and optimization of a wind turbine system that can be implemented to autonomously supply a mountain cottage.

“…Team members are selected for their ability to contribute to the design of product and processes by early identi® cation of potential problems and timely initiation of actions to avoid costly rework (Goldhar and Jelinek 1990). This approach can be traced back to the 1940s where Ford Motor Company successfully implemented this technique in developing military hardware for World War II (Ziemke and Spann 1993).…”
