Title: Development of the science base for the manufacturing field through the axiomatic approach
Abstract: The field of design needs a science base or absolute principles and axioms that can properly guide human endeavor for better creation, i.e., better design that leads to more economical use of natural resources and that which serves those human aspirations more effectively without accompanying undesirable side effects. The purpose of this paper is to describe the axiomatic approach to design. The design axioms and their corollaries are given and their use is explained both qualitatively and quantitatively. The metrics for the axiomatic statements are defined and their meanings explained through graphical representations. To further the understanding of the significance of the axioms, many examples are given, including product and process designs.
