Abstract
The design of a product largely predetermines its cost and quality, an d there are therefore limits to the benefits that can be obtained by t he application of best practice in manufacturing and quality control. The paper introduces a general model of design for quality and describ es a systematic quality evaluation methodology to aid the development of quality competitive products. The application and performance of th e methodology are described and its integration with techniques in des ign for manufacture and assembly is discussed.
