There is always room for improvement in design. Maybe there is need
for a better product, or for a better, more effective and economic,
design process-the late delivery of new products has been shown to
be the single largest contributor to the loss of company profits in
the UK. Our own experience of working with automotive, aerospace
and healthcare companies has shown that effective communication,
management of change and process planning are essential ingredients
for an effective product development process. This book aims to
develop an understanding of these issues as a means to facilitate
design process improvement. Part I contains a series of review
articles written by a team of international experts on models of
design, perspectives on design, design practice and design
management. Part II provides an introduction to the wealth of
academic research on these topics by presenting the activities of
research centres from around the world. It is for: business leaders
who want to understand the role of design management as a driver
for commercial success; design managers who want to improve their
company design procedures; designers who want to know how to design
more efficiently; researchers who want to explore the field of
design process improvement. An up-to-date source of information on
design process improvement may be found at: http:
