Project Summary

Customers of high-quality capital goods expect a high quality and availability during the life span. They expect this to be the responsibility of the supplier. To be able to produce this at minimal costs, it is required to take this into account within the design process. In this project, methods and techniques are developed to survey the consequences of design choices throughout the complete life span of capitalgoods.
