Efficient management of product information is vital for manufacturing  enterprises in this information age. Considering the proliferation of product  information, tight production schedules, and intense market competition, human  intelligence alone cannot meet the requirements of efficient product  development. Technologies and tools that support information management are  urgently needed. This volume presents the design reuse methodology to support  product development. Significant efforts have been made to create an  intelligent and optimal design environment by incorporating the contemporary  technologies in product family design, artificial intelligence, neural  networks, information theories, etc. This volume covers both theoretical  topics and implementation strategies, with detailed case studies to help  readers gain an insight in areas such as product information modeling,  information analysis, engineering optimization, production cost estimation,  and product performance evaluation.    Contents:  Design Reuse Systems and Enabling Tools; Product Information  Modeling; Design of Product Platform; Optimization in Product Design; Cost  Estimation in Product Development; Product Performance Evaluation; A Product  Family Design Reuse Methodology; Design Reuse for Embodiment and Detailed  Design.
