Axiomatic Design
Axiomatic Design recognizes four domains. The needs of the customer are identified in customer domain and are stated in the form of required functionality of a product in functional domain. Design parameters that satisfy the functional requirements are defined in physical domain, and, in process domain, manufacturing variables define how the product will be produced. Solution alternatives are created by mapping the requirements specified in one domain to a set of characteristic parameters in an adjacent domain. The mapping between the customer and functional domains is defined as concept design, the mapping between functional and physical domains is product design, the mapping between the physical and process domains corresponds to process design. The output of each domain evolves from abstract concepts to detailed information in a top-down or hierarchical manner. Two design axioms provide a rational basis for evaluation of proposed solution alternatives and the subsequent selection of the best alternative. The first axiom is the independent axiom, and it states that a good design maintains the independence of the functional requirements. The second axiom is the information axiom and it establishes information content as a relative measure for evaluating and comparing alternative solutions that satisfy the independence axiom.
