Overview
- Unlike other books in this area, this is the first book which attempts to explore the decision processes involved in making design choices by carefully examining what goes on in the mind when we make these decisions.
- This unique theory of decision making, by clarifying the process of decision making in the mind, identifies ineffective processes in design and production leading to faster design and planning time.
- Use of case studies to illustrate the decisions made by engineers in a variety of situations.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About the editor
Dr. Yotaro Hatamura is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo where he earned his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1966, being invited back to teach there two years later. At present he is also a Professor at Kogakuin University. His fields of interest include nano-micro machining, force sensing, intelligent manufacturing and biomedical engineering. In 2002, he founded the Association for the Study of Failure, after noticing that his students were more interested in learning about people’s mistakes than about their success stories. He has developed a method of analysing mistakes and failures and in order to show how one can achieve success by learning from failures.
