    Design, development and life-cycle management of any electromechanical product is a complex task that requires a cross-functional team spanning multiple organizations, including design, manufacturing, and service. Ineffective design techniques, combined with poor communication between various teams, often leads to delays in product launches, with last minute design compromises and changes. The purpose of Design of Electromechanical Products: A Systems Approach is to provide a practical set of guidelines and best practices for driving world-class design, development, and sustainability of electromechanical products. The information provided within this text is applicable across the entire span of product life-cycle management, from initial concept work to the detailed design, analysis, and development stages, and through to product support and end-of-life. It is intended for professional engineers, designers, and technical managers, and provides a gateway to developing a product’s design history file ("DHF") and device aster record ("DMR"). These tools enable design engineers to communicate a product’s design, manufacturability, and service procedures with various cross-functional teams.

    Biography

    Ali Jamnia enjoys teaching and mentoring junior engineers. His primary expertise lies in electromechanical systems design and development. In addition, he enjoys conducting analysis of various engineering problems using numerical approximations and computer simulations. Dr. Jamnia has focused on the issues of electronics packaging since the early 1990s, and since 1995, has been involved with the development of medical devices. He is passionate about innovative electronics systems to aid individuals with either physical or cognitive disabilities. In fact, his prime achievement has been the development of a specialized computer system called the Learning StationTM - used as a teaching tool for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Currently, he is the reliability lead for a family of medical infusion pumps.
