This book is a sequel to The Practice of Machine Design, and The
Practice of Machine Design, Book 3 - Learning from Failure. It
deals with what happens inside the human mind during such
activities as design and production, and how we reach decisions.
Unlike other regular machine design textbooks or handbooks that
describe how to accomplish good designs, the present volume
explains what the designer thinks when making design decisions. A
design starts with a vague concept and gradually takes shapes as it
proceeds, and during this process the mind extracts elements and
makes selections and decisions, the results expressed in sketches,
drawings, or sentences. This book aims at exposing the reader to
the processes of element extraction, selection, and decision-making
through real-life examples. Such a book has never been published
before. An explicit description of the processes of making
decisions, on the contrary, has been greatly needed by designers,
and the managers of design groups have been much aware of such a
lack. The non-existence of this type of book in the past is due to
the following three reasons: the benefit of describing the mind
process of design was never made clear, the method of such
clarification was unknown, and no one ever invested the vast energy
for producing such a manifestation. Under these circumstances, we
the members of the "Practice of Machine Design Research Group"
boldly tackled the problem of expressing the decision processes in
design and have documented our findings in this book.
