  • job Design for Good Design Practice
    Design Studies, 2005
    Co-Authors: Kristina Lauche
    Abstract:

    Good Design Practice requires more than individual strategies and methodology. The work of Designers has to be supported by the organisation to enable Designers to interact with colleagues proactively, to share relevant information and to learn collectively. Based on a framework of proactive Design and psychological theories, four criteria for job Design are developed, i.e. control over the Design process, availability and clarity of Design-relevant information, feedback on results and management support. The tasks of 19 Designers from large, medium-sized and service companies were assessed according to the criteria. The results highlight areas for improvement in the different types of companies.

    2020
    Co-Authors: K. Alexan, P J Clarkson
    Abstract:

    Changes to the medical device regulations within the past few years have forced medical device manufacturers to take an integrated approach to Design and validation in order to ensure that their products are reliable and ® t for purpose. Good Design Practice encourages ® tness for purpose within commercial reality. This paper contains a review of the current literature that is relevant to Good Design Practice. The results show that there is inadequate guidance regarding the integration of validation with Design. Thus, there is a need

  • A validation model for the medical devices industry
    Journal of Engineering Design, 2002
    Co-Authors: Karen Alexander, P J Clarkson
    Abstract:

    In light of the recent changes to the medical device regulations, manufacturers must now take an integrated approach to Design, development and validation. Good Design Practice encourages this integrated approach while ensuring fitness for purpose within commercial reality. This paper proposes a practical approach aimed at making devices easier and more economic to validate. The approach comes in the form of a model of Design for validation that illustrates the basic relationship between Design, development and validation, and a series of Design tactics that were formulated to help Designers take a more proactive approach to validation during Design.

  • Good Design Practice for medical devices and equipment part ii Design for validation
    Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2000
    Co-Authors: K L Alexander, P J Clarkson
    Abstract:

    Medical devices and their associated process equipment must be reliable and fit for purpose. In light of the recent changes to the medical device regulations, manufacturers must now take an integrated approach to Design, development and validation. Good Design Practice encourages this integrated approach while ensuring fitness for purpose within commercial reality. A review of current literature related to Good Design Practice carried out in Part I of this paper showed that there is inadequate guidance regarding the integration of validation with Design. This paper proposes a practical approach to Design for validation aimed at making devices easier and more economic to validate. The approach comes in the form of a model of Design for validation that illustrates the basic relationship between Design, development and validation and a series of Design tactics that were formulated in order to help Designers take a more proactive approach to validation during Design.

  • Good Design Practice for medical devices and equipment part i a review of current literature
    Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2000
    Co-Authors: K L Alexander, P J Clarkson
    Abstract:

    Changes to the medical device regulations within the past few years have forced medical device manufacturers to take an integrated approach to Design and validation in order to ensure that their products are reliable and fit for purpose. Good Design Practice encourages fitness for purpose within commercial reality. This paper contains a review of the current literature that is relevant to Good Design Practice. The results show that there is inadequate guidance regarding the integration of validation with Design. Thus, there is a need for Good Design Practice to include 'Design for validation' which is aimed at Designing medical devices to make them easier and more economic to validate. Research has been carried out at the Cambridge Engineering Design Centre in order to develop an approach that provides guidance in order to help Designers achieve integrated Design, development and validation. This will be reported in part II of this paper.

  • using axiomatic Design to improve conceptual Design robustness in Design for six sigma dfss methodology
    International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage, 2005
    Co-Authors: Matthew Hu, John Pieprzak
    Abstract:

    Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a systematic process and a disciplined problem-prevention approach to achieve business excellence. Robust Design is the heart of DFSS. To ensure the success of robust parameter Design, one should start with Good Design concepts. Axiomatic Design, a fundamental set of principles that determine Good Design Practice, can help to facilitate a project team to accelerate the generation of Good Design concepts. Axiomatic Design holds that uncoupled Designs are to be preferred over coupled Designs. Although uncoupled Designs are not always possible, application of axiomatic Design principles in DFSS presents an approach to help the DFSS team focus on functional requirements to achieve Design intents and maximise product reliability. As a result of the application of axiomatic Design followed by parameter Design, the DFSS team achieved Design robustness and reliability. A hydraulic lash adjuster case study will be presented.
