Axiomatic Design - ANUDEEP

Axiomatic design defines design as mapping functional requirements to design parameters to satisfy perceived needs. There are two problem types in design: developing candidate solutions and selecting between solutions. Axiomatic design handles both through its process. This process decomposes the design hierarchy through four domains - customer, functional, physical, and process - and ensures independence and minimization of information between domains via its two axioms. The goal of axiomatic design is to establish a scientific basis for design to improve the design process and minimize random searching.

AXIOMATIC DESIGN

-Anudeep Bhimanapalli

What is Axiomatic design?


y

Axiomatic Design defines design as the creation of synthesized solutions in the form of products, processes or systems that satisfy perceived needs through mapping between Functional Requirements (FRs) and Design Parameters (DPs).

Design problems traditionally could be said to come in two types:


y A.

Developing candidate solutions for

accomplishing the design objectives


y B.

Selecting between the candidate

solutions.

These two problem types can naturally be decomposed, or broken down,Possibility in a variety of ways. y The solutions to both types problem are handled by the axiomatic design process. y The selection of candidate solutions requires a certain kind of systematic description of the problem that provides the proper context for formulating candidate solutions. This description and context are provided by the domains and hierarchies of axiomatic design structures.
y

Three steps are used in introducing axiomatic design


First is providing motivation, which is attempted by observing that design is fundamental to all engineering. y Second is developing the concept that there are two simple axioms, independence and information, that govern design, just as Newtons laws govern mechanics y Third is observing that in order to apply the axioms designs must be decomposed into a hierarchical structure
y

Customer domain

functional domain

physical domain

process domain

Product design

Process design

In order for mapping to be satisfied between domains, two axioms must be followed
y

Axiom 1: The Independence Axiom Maintain the Independence of the FRs

Axiom 2: The Information Axiom Minimize the Information Content of the design

The first of these refers to the need to create a complete and non independent set of performance specifications. The second indicates that the best design solution will have the lowest information content. Others have earlier referred to this second idea as KISS,which stands,some what crudely,for keep it simple,stupid

Ultimate Goal of Axiomatic Design


y y y y y

To establish a scientific basis for design To improve designer activities To make human designers more creative To reduce random search process To minimize the iterative trial-and-error process

To establish the best designs among those proposed

designers typically follow these steps:


Understand their customers' needs y Define the problem they must solve to satisfy these needs y Create and select a solution y Analyze and optimize the proposed solution y Check the resulting design against the customers' needs
