DESCRIPTION:
Gerhard Pahl graduated from the Technical College of Darmstadt in 1954 and spent the next 10 years involved with the initial start-up, construction and development of turbomachines with Brown, Boveri and Cie. He then went on to become head of design and development of the Duewag railway vehicle manufacturing company, Duesseldorf, followed by technical manager of Siemens Light Rail, Düsseldorf and Erlangen. Pahl was professor for Mechanical Components and Engineering Design at
The reference book for Systematic Approach to design! Great, complete and really useful! When I approached this book I had only a vague idea about the argument (plus some understanding about QFD) but now I can say I have enough knowledge about "Systematic Approach to Design" to apply on the job what I read in this book! No matter if you are a PM or "only" a designer: you should have this book on your desk!
The economics of design and development are covered and electronic design process technology integrated into its methods. The book provides more examples of product development; it also tightens the scientific bases of its design ideas with new solution fields in composite components, building methods, mechatronics and adaptronics. It breaks down the design process into phases and then into distinct steps, each with its own working methods. The book is sharply written and well-illustrated.. This proven and internationally recognized text teaches the methods of engineering design as a condition of succ
Anyone committed to understanding the design process should be familiar with the contents of this book."Warren Seering, Weber-Shaughness Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyOn the second edition of this title:"With a renewed interest in the critical role product design plays in maintaining economic competitiveness, American designers would be well advised to become thoroughly acquainted with this wealth of information."American Scientist. "Engineering Design is widely acknowledged to be the most complete available treatise on systematic design methods. The 3rd edition includes new material on project planning and scheduling. The book has particularly strong sections on design from the functional perspective and on the phase of the process between conceptual and detail design in which most key design decisions are made. In it, each step of the engineering design process and associated best practices are documented
