设计方法学和开发过程控制

Design Method and Controlling

在设计方法学应用于工业界大约２０年以后，在越来越强大的缩短产品开发周期、降低制造成本的压力下，本文作者探讨了还能在哪些方面继续挖掘设计方法学的潜力。为此，他们特别将注意力放到了开发和设计过程的第一阶段。市场方法——按设计人员的需求进行组合——可以面向顾客和市场作出战略决策。

Design methodology entered widespread commercial use 20 years ago. It should now be developed further with the aim of reducing the time required for design. The paper suggests focussing design research on the earliest phase of the design process, as well as tayloring marketing methods to the needs of designers in order to attune operative decisions to market and customer neeeds. Furthermore, the methods employed in controlling should be integrated into design and product optimization. Again, the task of devising practical methods falls within the domain of design research.
