While the principle benefits of robust design are widely accepted, there is still a large gap between robust design in theory and in practice. DTU’s annual Robust Design Day therefore aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners focusing on applied Robust Design and Variation Management in Design and Production. The objective is a regular platform for discussions and a fruitful knowledge exchange on experiences, solutions and challenges faced.

Axiomatic Design of Robust Products and SystemsProf. Nam P. Suh, MIT & KAISTProfessor at MIT and author of the seminal works on Design Theory: Axiomatic Design. Axiomatic design has had broad uptake by industry and academics. While it divides opinion as a general design theory, the application of the axioms for the purposes of increasing Robustness is well documented. |
