Functional Decomposition
|
A Functional Diagram standardizes the components of the
system, helping capture various functions that the system has to perform. It
tells "what to accomplish" while a Part Diagram tells "how to accomplish",
which can be created alongside the Functional Diagram.
Example
Example was taken from the
Umbrella project.

Concept Selection Matrix (Pugh Chart)
|
The Pugh Chart helps sort and rank design ideas, leading to
the generation of newer concepts.
Example
Example was taken from the
Paintball Marker project.

Quality Function Development
|
The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) charts allow the
customer requirements to be reflected throughout the product development
process. Customer requirements are transferred to Quality
(Engineering) Characteristics, in the next QFD chart the Quality
Characteristics are transferred to Part Characteristics, then Part
Characteristics to Process Parameters, and lastly Process Parameters to
Production Planning.
Example
Example was taken from the
Blender project.
