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:
This paper presents an Axiomatic Design based approach which aims to simplify the application of this methodology in everyday working life of engineers. As a basis Axiomatic Design Theory is chosen because of its clear representation of dependencies of functional requirements. This provides a good control for designers if their design maintains functional independence and therewith the principles of good design. Based on the original methodology a new shortened procedure has been developed. The focus of this procedure has been set on applying Suh s independence axiom on the most abstract levels during decomposition of the design task. The presented procedure is meant either as first steps into a complex design methodology or as a kind of approximation in early design phases. This approximation can be detailed to a full Axiomatic Design approach during the following design steps. The effects of using this shortened approach have been evaluated by carrying out a common design task. Finally the results of this evaluation have been discussed critically.
