Abstract
This chapter describes product design processes in product manufacturing from a technological point of view pertaining to optimization. The importance of optimization techniques for present and future product manufacturing is clarified and fundamental strategies for product design optimization are discussed, based on concurrent engineering concepts. The details of advanced optimization methodologies using hierarchical multiobjective optimizations are then explained, and a comprehensive applied example of a machine-tool optimization is provided.
