Technical University of Denmark (DTU) No. 1 in the Nordics! 7 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology 2223 In post war Germany there was a need to rapidly design and manufacture known machinery that was essential to production, such as lathes, milling machines, presses etc. In order to achieve this with high quality, the VDI guidelines for machine design were created. 8 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Hidden deep within (section 7.3.1): CLARITY: Within a given function structure, an unambiguous interrelationship between the various sub-functions and the appropriate inputs and outputs must be guaranteed. 9 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Axiom 1: The Independence Axiom Maintain independence of functional requirements. Axiom 2: The Information Axiom Minimize the information content of a design. 10 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Mechanism have become something easy to do in CAD but the notion and relevance of Kinematic Mobility has been lost. 11 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Mechanical Design ends up with over-weighted focus on the selection of Machine Elements (Bearings, Gears, Splines etc.) 12 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Where does the engineering designer learn how to design predictable & robust products? 13 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
History of Engineering Design Methodology Connecting the dots 14 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
The future of Engineering Design Valcon Six Theta We now teach the principles of this new paradigm to all Mechanical and Design MASTERS students. 15 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
Six Theta DTU Education P S T Increase Predictability Outcome: Less complexity, more predictable designs Decrease Sensitivity Outcome: Greater product quality with cheaper production Allocate Tolerances Outcome: Reduced Waste throughout supply chain 16 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
Six Theta Predicts it Frist Generation Six Theta Index 1 Six Theta Compliant Never had a single variation related issue - outsourced manufacturing to a China without any issues to product 35000 units. 17 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
Six Theta Predicts it Design Agency - Visual design - Part design - Documentation - Working principle - Flow modelling - Software Second Generation Six Theta Non-compliant Not a single interface didn t require rework 8 revisions (av.) on drawings Delay of launch by 3 months Almost bankrupted Six Theta Index 19 18 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
Six Theta Predicts it Six Theta Index >30 PCB didn t fit to base Consequences: Scrap Six Theta Index 12 Rotor not centered Consequences: Adding weight 19 DTU Mechanical, Technical University of Denmark Six Theta An academic perspective Nov.2017
