Document Summary
The axiomatic design theory has been used for four purposes: To provide a systematic way of designing products and large systems. To determine the best designs among those proposed. To create systems architecture that completely captures the construction of the system functions. The theory of axiomatic design is based on two axioms: States that the independence of functional requirements must always be maintained. States that the best design is the one with least information content and at the same time it should satisfy independence axiom. The axiomatic design world consists of four domains: Capture needs or attributes that the customer is looking for. Customer needs are translated to functional requirements. Identify design parameters. it. management inter-related subtasks. Develop a process that is characterized by process variables. Design is defined as interplay between what we want to achieve and how we achieve. First, a range of possible solutions for the given tasks has to be generated.
