Set-Based Concurrent Engineering

Principle 1 - Map the design space

Define feasible regions

Explore trade-offs by designing multiple alternatives

Communicate sets of possibilities

Principle 2 - Integrate by intersection

Look for intersections of feasibility sets

Impose minimum constraints

Seek conceptual robustness

Principle 3 - Establish feasibility before commitment

Narrow sets gradually while increasing detail

Stay within sets once committed

Control by managing uncertainty at process gates
