  2. 1. Extended Application of Robust Design Methodology

    Author : Vanajah Siva Subramaniam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; practices; life cycle approach; Robust design methodology; back-end data; sustainable product development;

    Abstract : Robust Design Methodology (RDM), a subset of Quality Management (QM), is an approach applied to the design phase of product development in order to manage variability in product performance by creating insensitivity to noise factors. Noise factors are sources of variation that cannot be readily controlled. READ MORE

    Abstract : The Influence of Learning on Naturalization of New Practices– the Case of Robust Design in Product DevelopmentAzadeh Fazl MashhadiDepartment of Technology Management and EconomicsDivision of Quality SciencesChalmers University of TechnologyABSTRACTCustomers appreciate a robust product which performs its desired function consistently and independently of the sources of variation during its life cycle. In order to deliver a robust design to customers, the upstream activities during the product development process should proactively support such a result. READ MORE

  5. 3. Robust Design Methodology - a treatise on the gap between principles and tools

    Author : Torben Hasenkamp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; principles; noise factors; practices; tools; robust design methodology;

    Abstract : Today many companies are struggling with issues related to unwanted variation. Even though Robust Design Methodology is a suitable means of counteracting such issues there are rather few industrial applications documented. READ MORE

  7. 5. People, Climate, and Inclusive Infrastructure : A thesis on design and planning in underserved neighbourhoods

    Author : Joseph Mulligan; Mattias Höjer; David Nilsson; Edgar Pieterse; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Socio-ecological systems; climate change; infrastructure design and planning; participation; adaptation; co-design; resilience; urban transition; flood risk management; transdisciplinary research; Kibera; Nairobi; Kenya; sub-Saharan Africa.; Strategier för hållbar utveckling; Strategies for sustainable development;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the processes of design and planning of infrastructure in rapidly urbanising cities that can lead to a more just and sustainable trajectory of urban development in the context of a changing climate. The thesis draws on case studies, panel surveys, interviews, and participant-observation of both top-down and bottom-up planning processes for infrastructure development and flood risk management in the context of urban informal areas, with a particular focus on the large informal neighbourhood of Kibera in central Nairobi, Kenya.
