Over the past decade, researchers have shown an increased interest in Set-Based Design motivated by the potential benefits of shortening product development time while creating robust products. Despite the growing number of publications around the topic, most of them have focused on practical applications, leaving an area of opportunity to explore theoretical development. Many authors have suggested the use of different methods and tools to enable Set- Based Design. However, the techniques are usually applied individually, missing the chance to combine them in a systematic way. Therefore, the necessity of proposing roadmaps depicting how to integrate methods and tools to enable Set-Based Design is here identified. This paper integrates the GFIS (Given-Find-In Order To-Subjected To) Method for Problem Statement, Nondimensionalization with Causal Mapping, Dimensionless Trade-off Curves and Labeled Fuzzy Sets. These methods and tools are meant to help the designer listing key parameters and variables, identifying main interactions, mapping the design space, and finding a feasible and preferred design. A band brake design problem is presented to depict the application of the proposed roadmap with the intention of guiding the designer in the decision-making process, going from understanding the problem’s requirements and limitations to achieving robust solutions. This work describes a series of steps that contribute to facilitate handling uncertainty, feasibility, and preference. The roadmap developed is applied to a band brake design problem as an example.
