Phal and Beitz Method

The Phal and Beitz method is a systematic design approach developed in Germany after World War II that breaks a product's overall design into separate functional modules that can be considered independently. It involves four main stages: clarifying requirements and constraints, conceptual design to establish functions and solutions, embodiment design to further develop concepts and eliminate weaknesses, and detail design to specify individual component dimensions, tolerances, materials and forms. The method provides a general problem-solving process and aims to adapt to mechanical engineering design requirements while incorporating specific working and decision-making steps.

What is Phal and Beitz method?


A systematic design approach to concept evaluation developed in Germany after world war II. It is method of evolution based on use-value analysis. The overall design of the product is broken into design for separate functional modules. Each modules can then be considered independently with the interaction between them being kept to minimum.

In the next slide the design process is described by a flow diagram comprising four main phases

The main four stages.


1. Clarification of the task, which involves collecting information about the design requirements and the constraints, and describing these in a specification 2. Conceptual design, which involves establishment of the function to be included in the design, and identification and development of suitable solutions 3. Embodiment design, in which conceptual solution is developed in more detail, problems are resolved and weak aspects eliminated

4. Detail design, in which the dimensions, tolerances, materials and form of individual components of the design are specified in detail for subsequent manufacture.

at

Used on both industry and education. Serving as a reference. Based on an elaborate analysis of the fundamental of technical systems. General problems solving process. The aim of the model is to adept a general statements to the requirements of the mechanical engineering design process and to incorporate the specific working and decision-making steps.

Over view

The figure is presents a straightforward sequence of stages through the process. In practice the main phases are not always so clearly defined and there is invariably feedback to previous stages and iteration between stages.

Advantage and Disadvantage

The major advantage of this approach is the simplification of the subsequent design process for the individual modules. The major disadvantage of this method is that by reducing the scope for functional sharing, an increase in overall complexity of the product often follows. This can result in manufacturing problems, such as a higher parts count.
