Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Quality in product development moved gradually from the end of a product’s development process to its beginning, thus involving quickly and totally all its phases and pointed out the great liability of the Design activities on product’s quality level. The study carried out is an attempt to find the right trend to follow to pursue improvements in design activity throughout Methodical Design Tools. So it was possible to define the way to cover, which, even in its complexity, leads to a very effective Procedure to be followed by any designer without many difficulties, which may be implemented on any Mechanical System’s design. The effectiveness of DFQ Procedure was tested on a project regarding the redesign of a tripper.
