1) Uniform Wall Thickness, Coring & Mass Reduction since injection molding is employed as the shape forming process step, part designs can avoid the limitations of traditional metalworking processes. For example, machining involves the removal of material from a solid shape to get to the desired final component design. As a result, design engineers are limited to design decisions that can be re...

in designing a product designers should take in to consideration several factors such as customers’ needs and opinion as well as the designing features and the relationship between these two.since each designer has his own idea, it is worth for both designer and producers to find a way for combining the customer needs and the designing of the product increases with the rate of customer satisfac...

The final quality and cost of a manufactured product are determined to a large extent by the engineering design of the product and its production process through activities of off-line quality control methods, namely, System Design, Parameter Design and Tolerance Design. However, in the context of most non-industrialized countries, the off-line quality activities of product design and system de...

The new product development (NPD) is the process by which a new product idea is conceived, investigated, taken through the design process, manufactured, marketed and serviced. In Automotive Engineering these related to the product realization process (PRP) which consists of five phases: "Plan and Define Program", "Product Design and Development", "Process Design and...

Activity and photoergonomic analysis was carried out on 21 VDTs, while the operators were performing usual VDT tasks, at three computer centres in Bombay. Studies confirmed that failure to apply the knowledge of ergonomics to the design of workstations results in unnecessary fatigue and discomfort. Among the various factors which contribute to the efficiency, comfort and well-being of operators...

Action Regulation Theory is not only a description tool but also a normative guide to efficient and humanized work; it became a foundation of international standards in work design. The regular mode of action regulation is knowledgebased regulation. Innovation in mental work, e.g., product development, follows a hydrid model of action regulation combining knowledge-driven opportunistic sequence...
