Foundations of Integrated Design Engineering

Abstract

Integrated Design Engineering (IDE) is the further development and extension of the Magdeburg model of Integrated Product Development [Burc-2001, Sect. 1.5]. It also contains elements of dynamic product development [Otto-1996, Sect. 1.4], user-centred design [e.g. ISO 9241-210], sustainable product development [e.g. Rutt-2012, Chaps. 5 and 12], Design for X [BoDe-2003, Meer-1994] (Sect. 14.1.1) and work and organizational psychology [Aamo-2015]. IDE is human-centred, because the human being with his abilities, possibilities and qualifications is in the centre of all considerations within IDE with all his activities concerning planning, development, production, use, maintenance and re-circulation of products (and the possible impairments linked to these activities).
