Abstract :
[en] Conventional design process (CDP) considers delivery issues at latest stages of design process. Designers are focused on technical and quality aspects. In most instances, delivery issues are addressed separately by other teams of supply chain (“over the wall” approach, [3]). Machine design projects are nowadays highly time-sensitive (time to market is shortened), severely bound by deadlines, volatile and sometimes uncertain. Due to iterative nature of design process, amount of potential design combinations is large, and their inherent technical checks (TC) are time consuming. Designers must make relevant choices to be timely successful. To avoid unnecessary design effort, availability of components must be considered at early stage of design process: that is the way availability-based design methodology (ABD) acts. ABD thoroughly revises conventional design process (CDP) and reorders its main steps to preclude a new type of design failure: achieving a design that will not be compatible with delivery specifications. Current article aims to (1) elucidate ABD methodology, (2) compare it with conventional design process (CDP), and (3) establish a timeline model demonstrating the enhancements realized through ABD scheme. The present article examines the current overly complex design environment and validates the rationale for the proposed improved design methodology.
