Abstract :
A design process model, focusing on design quality, is presented. Design quality is quantified as the probability that a design object satisfies its specification. Simple economic models demonstrate how design quality may impact cost, revenue, and lead time. Finally, design experiments done by several students are reported to exemplify the collection of design process parameters. These experiments also demonstrate the applicability of such parameters and quality models to real-life design projects
