Phases of Product Evaluation Process

pdf PDF htmlFULL-TEXT HTML

ABSTRACT

The paper presents some considerations regarding the evaluation issue in the general approach process of engineering product development. Starting with evaluation definition as a significant stage in the life-cycle of a product, the content of the paper valorises some achievements of the author’s research and some selected information from references in the field. Proposals for an evaluation procedure are introduced. As referring point of view, a proposed methodology titled Functional-Technological Engineering is briefly argued and, based on it, some considerations regarding the evaluation using functional and technological criteria for different stages of the engineering approach are developed. The new elements of the paper are in close relation with the actual tendency in the life-cycle approach to continuously scale the development progress.
