Product design improvement through design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) and theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ)

The goal of this project is to improve product design of consumer product by integrating Boothroyd Dewhurst Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) methodology with a Russian Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). The outcome of previous research has shown integrating several design tools ha...
