Robust Design

About

Various strategies that make a product more robust - or resistent to breakdown. These can be myriad:

1. Lifetime Design
2. Modular Design
3. Construction Set Approach
4. System Robustification
5. Technological Recursion
6. Design-for-Disassembly
7. Design-for-Tolerancing
8. Product Ecologies

and many more.

Concept

AKA the Taguchi method - [1]

Philosophy

This relates to the OSE Vision, and to Antifragility of systems consistent with Lifelong Learning for evolution, transcendence, and Sublimation. Robustification contributes to antifragility, and antifragility can be considered equivalent to - at minimum - robustness + learning, or at maximum - robustness + sublimation.
