Design is a fundamental creative human activity. This certainly
applies to the design of artefacts, the realisation of which has to
meet many constraints and ever raising criteria. The world in which
we live today, is enormously influenced by the human race. Over the
last century, these artefacts have dramatically changed the living
conditions of humans. The present wealth in very large parts of the
world, depends on it. All the ideas for better and new artefacts
brought forward by humans have gone through the minds of designers,
who have turned them into feasible concepts and subsequently
transformed them into realistic product models. The designers have
been, still are, and will remain the leading 'change agents' in the
physical world. Manufacturability of artefacts has always played a
significant role in design. In pre industrial manufacturing, the
blacksmith held the many design and realisation aspects of a
product in one hand. The synthesis of the design and manufacturing
aspects took, almost implicitly, place in the head of the man. All
the knowledge and the skills were stored in one person. Education
and training took place along the line of many years of
apprenticeship. When the production volumes increased, -'assembling
to measure' was no longer tolerated and production efficiency
became essential - design, process planning, production planning
and fabrication became separated concerns. The designers created
their own world, separated from the production world. They argued
that restrictions in the freedom of designing would badly influence
their creativity in design."
