ITHE DESIGN PROCESS
 
1.0DESIGN PROCESS
The design process is illustrated by the following models namely Shigley, Paul andBeitz, Ohsuga and Earle.
1.1Shighely Model:
In the design process, there are six steps to be followed which are shown in fig 1.5.
Recognition of need:
The problems in the existing products (or) Potential for newproducts in market has to be identified.
Definition of problem:
The problem in the existing product or specification of thenew product is specified as
Design Brief 
to the designers. It includes thespecification of physical and functional characteristics, cost, quality, performancerequirements etc.
Fig 1.1. The general design procedure defined by ShigleySynthesis:
In this stage, the designer develops number of designs to meet therequirement of design brief.
Analysis&Optimization:
•
Each design from the synthesis stages are analysed and optimum one isselected.
•
It should be noted that synthesis and analysis are highly iterative. A certaincomponent or subsystem of the overall system conceived by the designer inthe synthesis stage is subjected to analysis.
•
Based on the analysis, improvements are made and redesigned. The process isrepeated until the design optimized within all the constraints imposed bydesigner.
 
Evaluation:
•
In this stage optimized design from the previous stage is checked for all thespecification mentioned in the
Design Brief 
.
•
A prototype of the product is developed and experimentally checked for itsperformance, quality, reliability and other aspects of product.
•
The discrepancies/problems are faced, it is recommend to redesign the productwhich should be fed back to the designer in the synthesis stage.
Presentation:
After the product design passing through the evaluation stage, drawings. diagrams,material specification, assembly lists, bill of materials etc. which are required forproduct manufacturing are prepared and given to process planning department andproduction department.
1.2Earle model:
The steps in the design process prepared by Earle are shown infig.1.2. Problemidentification
Fig 1.2. Steps of design process by Earle
(1). Problem identification:The problem identification can be one of two general types.(i). Identification of need.(ii). Identification of design criteria.Identification of need is the beginning point of the design process. It may be a defector discrepancy in the existing product or need for a new product.Identification of design criteria is the part of the problem identification where thedesigner conducts an in-depth investigation of the specifications that must be met by anew design. Types of problem identification are shown in fig 1.9.Types of problem identification
