Record 8 2012-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Design
DEF

That property of a technical system that makes it able to do something.

CONT

Every technical system has a purpose ... Every technical system exhibits a behavior which is determined by its mode of action and its structure ... The intended behavior is called the system's function.

CONT

A common failing in problem definition is to overemphasize the specification of certain property values and performance parameters. The design is then forced to take a predetermined path. A better approach is to specify the functions the design should have ...

OBS

Whereas "function" refers to the intended behavior of a system, i.e to what it will be able to do, "performance" brings an extra nuance: it refers to the capacity to achieve a desired result when in operation.

  • Dessin industriel
