This paper discusses how different design methods like optimization, reliability, and robustness can work together effectively. By using a method called axiomatic design, these different tools can be combined in a structured way, making the design process more efficient. The researchers show that by following this integrated approach, design methods can be grouped together using axiomatic design's framework, leading to better outcomes in creating products. An example is provided in the paper to demonstrate how axiomatic design can be used to bring together various modern design methods.
