Product and Systems Development: A Value Approach (Hardcover)

A thorough treatment of product and systems development in terms of value to all stakeholders

Product and Systems Development compiles more than twenty years of research and practice from a value perspective, from vision and marketing to design, manufacturing, delivery, operations, and maintenance. It defines stakeholder value and identifies specific stakeholders in the product and system development process; covers best practices in development; and examines systems engineering, current industry views, and the life cycle of a value stream.

Featuring appendices written by professionals in the field on topics such as Design Structure Matrices, Lean Enablers for systems engineering, and MDAO and simulations, this indispensable guide:

• Explains why stakeholders' values can hold the key to fulfillment or defeat of the developer's vision
• Emphasizes the succession of value-contributing practices and tools that form a framework for development success
• Integrates the technical, productivity, and customer/end-user elements in product and system development
• Uses more than 100 tables and figures to illustrate the above processes, as well as corollary elements of risk, failure analysis, and fault-tolerant design
• Includes numerous case studies and links to online material

Product and Systems Development is an excellent coursebook for senior and graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, civil, electrical, and material engineering, as well as management science and engineering. It is also a useful reference for practicing engineers in a variety of technology-based industries.

《產品與系統開發》從價值的角度綜合了二十多年的研究和實踐，從願景和市場營銷到設計、製造、交付、運營和維護。它定義了利益相關者的價值，並確定了產品和系統開發過程中的具體利益相關者；介紹了開發的最佳實踐；並探討了系統工程、當前行業觀點以及價值流的生命周期。

本書附錄由該領域的專業人士撰寫，涵蓋了設計結構矩陣、系統工程的精益促進因素以及多目標設計優化和模擬等主題，是一本不可或缺的指南。本書具有以下特點：

- 解釋了為什麼利益相關者的價值觀可以決定開發者的願景是否能夠實現
- 強調了一系列貢獻價值的實踐和工具，形成了開發成功的框架
- 將技術、生產力和客戶/最終用戶元素整合到產品和系統開發中
- 使用100多個表格和圖示來說明上述過程，以及風險、故障分析和容錯設計的相關元素
- 包含大量案例研究和在線資料鏈接

《產品與系統開發》是航空航天、機械、土木、電氣和材料工程以及管理科學和工程的高年級和研究生學生的優秀教材，也是各種技術導向行業的實踐工程師的有用參考資料。
