Analysis of Decision Making Process for a Systematic Engineering Design

The decision making process is an important stage of the design process (Roozenburg and Eekels 1995; Spitas 2011). A decision in the design process may lead to extension of concept path or acquiring further knowledge as is described in the C-K Theory of design presented by (Hatchuel 1996). In this paper, we introduce a visual method for making decisions. This novel tool can be used in either C-space or K-space. Furthermore, our recommended technique measures the model uncertainty which is necessary for a robust design (Arvidsson and Gremyr 2008).
