Decision-Making in Engineering Design / Hatamura, Yotaro

Public ISBD Titre : Decision-Making in Engineering Design Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Hatamura, Yotaro, Auteur Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Decision engineering ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84628-261-4 Note générale : Configuration requise : Adobe acroba Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Engineering  Design  Operations  research  Engineering Index. décimale : 65 Gestion et organisation de l'industrie, du commerce et de la communication Résumé : We use our brains when we create plans and designs. The resulting plans and designs take physical form, however, what we thought about, the alternatives we tried, and the constraints we recognized while we were making these plans and designs are usually not written anywhere. Therefore, those who only get to see the results, e.g. the final text and drawings, do not learn what led the designer to reach such conclusions and as a consequence never understand the real design. Decision-making in Engineering Design is the first monograph to provide a much-needed insight into the ways in which our minds behave when we make decisions, focusing particularly on decisions made about design. Written by members of ‘The Practice of Machine Design Research Group’ and consisting of four parts, Decision-making in Engineering Design uses case studies to illustrate the decisions made by engineers in a variety of situations. A variety of diagrams are also used to express the decision processes that take place in the mind. The final part of the book focuses on a single case study which demonstrates the importance of understanding the mind processes involved in decision making. This description of decision processes will provide the means for the development of new manufacturing systems and production activities in the future because it helps us gain a real understanding of the how the mind processes we go through when making decisions affect the decisions that we make.

Composite systems decisions / Levin, Mark Sh.

Public ISBD Titre : Composite systems decisions Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Levin, Mark Sh., Auteur Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Decision engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Decision  making  -  Design  -  Management  -  Modular  design  -  Problem  solving  -  Systems  Engineering Résumé : Composite decisions consist of interconnected parts or subdecisions and correspond to a composite (composable, modular, decomposable) system. The composite decision approach extends the traditional paradigm of decision making of Herbert A. Simon, i.e. choice of the best alternative(s), and realizes a two-stage solving scheme: (a) the selection of alternatives as the best subdecisions or local decisions and (b) composition of the selected local decisions into a composite global decision while taking into account the quality of the local decisions and their compatibility. Composite Systems Decisions describes an educational approach that is based on systems engineering and considered modular design of composite decisions. Divided into four parts, this book contains descriptions of basic systems approaches and examines basic ‘technological’ problems for composite systems, including: modular hierarchical design; multistage design; multistage planning; redesign/improvement/adaptation; evaluation; and, combinatorial evolution/development. Applied researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and practitioners in many domains will find Composite Systems Decisions a valuable reference. The basic systems problems, solving schemes, and applied examples contained in the book will also be of interest to various scientists (e.g., mathematicians, computer scientists, economists, social engineers, etc.).
