Opis

The work presented concerns the development of a value driven engineering design assessment framework and its application to the conceptual design of an Unmanned Air System (UAS) to be utilized in a defense application. This research demonstrates the implementation of the value driven design philosophy in this framework, identifying value enhancing designs, with value not converted to monetary worth and as perceived by all stakeholders involved. A multi-criteria and multi-stakeholder decision making analysis is adopted to address their preferences as well as to study their interacting strategic choices. The ultimate objective of this framework is to convert engineering design to a decision making analysis with multiple conflicting objectives of multiple stakeholders considered.
