Robust Optimization is a method to improve robustness using low-cost
variations of a single, conceptual design. The benefits of Robust
Optimization include faster product development cycles; faster launch
cycles; fewer manufacturing problems; fewer field problems; lower-cost,
higher performing products and processes; and lower warranty costs. All
these benefits can be realized if engineering and product development
leadership of automotive and manufacturing organizations leverage the
power of using Robust Optimization as a competitive weapon.
Written by world renowned authors, Robust Optimization: World's Best
Practices for Developing Winning Vehicles, is a ground breaking book
whichintroduces the technical management strategy of Robust
Optimization. The authors discuss what the strategy entails, 8 steps for
Robust Optimization and Robust Assessment, and how to lead it in a
technical organization with an implementation strategy. Robust
Optimization is defined and it is demonstrated how the techniques can be
applied to manufacturing organizations, especially those with automotive
industry applications, so that Robust Optimization creates the
flexibility that minimizes product development cost, reduces product
time-to-market, and increases overall productivity.
Key features:
- Presents best practices from around the globe on Robust Optimization
that can be applied in any manufacturing and automotive organization
in the world
- Includes 19 successfully implemented best case studies from automotive
original equipment manufacturers and suppliers
- Provides manufacturing industries with proven techniques to become
more competitive in the global market
- Provides clarity concerning the common misinterpretations on Robust
Optimization
Robust Optimization: World's Best Practices for Developing Winning
Vehicles is a must-have book for engineers and managers who are working
on design, product, manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, process,
quality area; all levels of management especially in product development
area, research and development personnel and consultants. It also serves
as an excellent reference for students and teachers in engineering.
