Modelling Resources in simulation Engineering Design Processes
… resources is essential in engineering design for delivering quality products on time, within cost and at acceptable risk. There is an inherent complexity in deciding what resources should perform which tasks taking into account their effectiveness towards completing the task, whilst …

Design of an IT solution for distributed conceptual design processes
… tools to aid in the conceptual stage of product design processes in a geographically distributed work environment. While the need for such a solution exists, there have been few strides to update the tools engineers currently use. The 2.009 design process is used as a model to better understand …

Novel affordances of computation to the design processes of kinetic structures
… is dialectic, whereby the tools we utilize in design develop new heuristics, the methodologies in tum, if reflectively understood, can be more aptly facilitated through the development of novel tools. The tools and the process then evolve together. A theory is laid out exploring the human …

A comparative study of fashion design processes in the U.K. women's wear industry (Volume I)
… analysis was a comparison between company and design process variables followed by inductive reasoning to arrive at a series of hypotheses about links and relationships between the variables and culminated in a generalisation about the variables within the fashion design processes and their …

Strengths and Challenges of Mechanical Design Processes in a Federally Funded Research and Development Center
Compared to product design processes, design processes for research and development (R&D) are usually less structured, and there is less literature about them. The lack of structure can lead to a lack of clarity or processes that are not well-defined. This research uses a not-for-profit company …

A qualitative study and thematic analysis concerning the applicability and efficacy of service design processes applied to healthcare service innovation
The emergence of design and systems development have arisen as legitimate tools for facilitating innovative practices in the delivery of care within public services. Development mechanisms deriving from design led thinking and their associated methodologies have evidently been adopted to construct …

Developing a persona-based user-centred design model in relation to idea generation that will both manage the product design processes and solve design problems
User-Centred Design (UCD) was proposed in the 1980s and, since then, its philosophy has helped to solve design problems, regardless of the advances in technology over time. The standard ISO 9241:210 (2010), formerly ISO 13407, provides guidance in human-centred design principles and activities …

If he were motivated, how might Peter Zumthor engage with machine learning? Adapting new directions in computing to approaches in tradition oriented creative and architectural design processes
… implacable objectivity afforded by computing in design; others, whose outlook regards culturally situated and historical contexts as foundational to the design process, view computing as antithetical to the craft of design. Both approaches are innovative in practice and rooted in expansive …

Processes and outcomes of co-design to improve physical health care with mental health consumers in primary care
Co-design is increasingly used to improve and innovate in health care, but research into improving co-design processes has been limited. Co-design combines service user, service provider and other stakeholder expertise to develop novel solutions informed by lived experience. This study examined the …

Development of a model of the interior design process
The purpose of this thesis was a) to review the design process literature in architecture and urban planning, b) to develop a model of the interior design process, and c) to apply parts of the model in a case study. The genesis and evolution of design processes in fields allied with interior design …

The use of visual comfort metrics in the design of daylit spaces
It is desirable to design buildings with natural daylight and views to the outside, which can maximize passive solar heating, minimize electric lighting use and contribute to feelings of wellbeing and awareness. Unfortunately, the presence of daylight is not always a positive one. Excessive …
