It is intended to offer experienced instruction  based on scientific knowledge  in place of the intuitive approach to the field often encountered in engineering practice and education. The book presents basic principles and constitutes an exposition of these fundamental axioms and their application. The emphasis is on identifying problems in a clear  scientific manner  so that the correct solution may be arrived at regardless of the mathematical treatment involved. In particular  the importance of conceptualizing design approaches--a uniquely human  intellectual skill--is highlighted  since too often educators and engineers try to limit this process to computer techniques. Case studies are extensively presented to illustrate the significance as well as the use of the axioms in solving real problems. The work is based on extensive experience at M.I.Ts Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity  where axiomatics is a major program. The goal of the program is to bring a scientific approach to the decision-making process related to manufacturing--an approach that facilitates rational design of processes and products  as well as the optimization of manufacturing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965299552309,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195043456","price":148.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195043457.jpg?v=1770492087","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-principles-of-design-oxford-series-on-advanced-manufacturing","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
