AB Robust Design is essential for developing high-quality products by minimizing their sensitivity to variation and uncertainties from diverse sources. Despite the wide range of approaches from industry and research, it faces challenges due to their siloed usage. Motivated to gain a better understanding of these challenges and to derive implications for how to overcome them, this paper discusses different viewpoints on Robust Design, taking into account different life cycle phases, domains, and system levels. This highlights the challenges of enhanced product complexity and shifting focuses, for instance, when it comes to cyber-physical systems or sustainable design, and the need for collaboration. Accordingly, the vision of a collaborative approach to Robust Design in a team is presented, in which the actors’ strengths are combined to further increase efficiency and significance.
