  2. Value engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_engineering

    Value engineering can lead to the substitution of lower-cost materials, as with the exterior cladding that accelerated the Grenfell Tower fire in London. [1] [2]Value engineering (VE) is a systematic analysis of the functions of various components and materials to lower the cost of goods, products and services with a tolerable loss of performance or functionality.

  3. Engineering design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_design_process

    The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.

  4. Quality function deployment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_function_deployment

    A house of quality for enterprise product development processes. The house of quality, a part of QFD, [3] is the basic design tool of quality function deployment. [4] It identifies and classifies customer desires (WHATs), identifies the importance of those desires, identifies engineering characteristics which may be relevant to those desires (HOWs), correlates the two, allows for verification ...

  5. Value sensitive design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_sensitive_design

    Value sensitive design (VSD) is a theoretically grounded approach to the design of technology that accounts for human values in a principled and comprehensive manner. [1] [2] VSD originated within the field of information systems design [3] and human-computer interaction [4] to address design issues within the fields by emphasizing the ethical values of direct and indirect stakeholders.

  6. Design for X - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_X

    Design for excellence (DfX or DFX) is a term and abbreviation used interchangeably in the existing literature, [1] [2] [3] where the X in design for X is a variable which can have one of many possible values. [4]

  7. Design optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_optimization

    Design optimization applies the methods of mathematical optimization to design problem formulations and it is sometimes used interchangeably with the term engineering optimization. When the objective function f is a vector rather than a scalar , the problem becomes a multi-objective optimization one.

  8. Engineering geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_geology

    Engineering geology studies may be performed during the planning, environmental impact analysis, civil or structural engineering design, value engineering and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and forensic phases of projects.

  9. Outline of design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_design

    Design (as a verb: designing, or, to design) is the intentional creation of a plan or specification for the construction or manufacturing of an object or system or for the implementation of an activity or process. Design (as a noun: a design) can refer to such a plan or specification (e.g. a drawing or other document) or to the created object ...
