Abstract The development of design systems which ensure economic feasibility has been the focus of recent research in the manufacturing area. Traditional design and justification approaches have been cited as having shortcomings; thus, there have been a variety of modifications and enhancements developed. An approach that is conceptually different from the traditional approaches seeks the integration of the economic analysis within the design process. We denote this approach as thedesign justification method. This paper reviews literature related to the explicit and implicit integration of economic factors in the manufacturing system design process, followed by supporting issues for the implementation of the design justification concept.
