Abstract
Utilisation of Robust Design (RD) principles in early stages of product development can reduce costly iterations by identifying concepts that are less prone to functional losses caused by variations. Valuable implications can be drawn from those principles, which are currently not transferred to later stages. Motivated by that, the RD principles are studied with the EFRT-Model. The transferability of nine different RD principles to later stages is analysed with a variation simulation of the exemplary snap fit joint use case and discussed based on their utilisation on a four-point scale.
