Abstract
In manufacturing organizations there are at least three distinct design areas: product design, manufacturing process design, and design of the organization itself Historically these activities have been carried out in relative isolation, by separate people on different time- lines What If they could all be brought together into a domain-independent design process? We capture the heady nature of this prospect with the term enterprise design In this paper a method for achieving enterprise design is introduced, founded in the notion of formulating and solving Decision Support Problems (DSPs). This method for enterprise design grows from the foundation of the Robust Concept Explo ration Method (RCEM) and is illustrated through an example of the concurrent design of a Forward-Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) system, integrating robust models of product performance, manufacturing cost, and design process duration into a multiobjective formulation.
