Decision-Based Design: An Approach for Enterprise-Driven Engineering Design

The motivation for developing a decision-based design (DBD) approach for engineering design is introduced in this chapter. The DBD approach recognizes that engineering design is fundamentally an enterprise-driven decision-making process, and therefore uses principles of decision theory and economics principles in its formulation. Further, in this chapter an overview of DBD is provided as well as the organization of the book.
