A new design method for product family was presented based on adaptable product platform. Firstly, customer demands were analyzed for bridge crane. Secondly, axiomatic design was utilized as framework to zigzaging mapping between functional requirements and design parameters, and design matrix was established. Then the sensitivity analysis among design parameters and between design parameters and functional requirements was done. The design relation matrix was established and relation degree among design parameters was calculated. Based on above analysis, the platform parameters were identified.

Products are often paired with additional services to satisfy customers’ needs, differentiate product offerings, and remain competitive in today’s market. This research is motivated by the need to provide guidelines and methods to support the design of such services, addressing the lack of knowledge on customized service design as well as methods for designing and evaluating services for mass customization. We extend concepts from module-based product family design to create a method for designing families of services. In particular, we introduce a strategic platform design method for developing customized families of services using game theory to model situations involving dynamic market environments. A module-based service model is proposed to facilitate customized service design and represent the relationships between functions and processes that constitute a service offering. A module selection problem for platform design is considered as a strategic module sharing problem under collaboration, and we use a coalitional game to model module sharing and decide which modules provide more benefit when in the platform based on marginal contribution of each module. To demonstrate implementation of the proposed method, we use a case study involving a family of banking services.

Within the future application of wireless network for the aeroengine control problem, resource constraints (caused by the limitation of hardware) and network traffic restriction must be considered as one of the difficulties to be solved; thus, the network connection and transmission efficiency can be ensured. With focus on the problem of active packed dropout, a MEF-TOD (Maximum Error First-Try Once Discard) scheduling based network parameter and sliding mode joint design method has been proposed. First, a scheduling protocol strained control system and network parameter joint model have been established based on MEF-TOD scheduling strategy, taking sampling period and data packet capacity as unknown network parameters. Subsequently, considering the influence of scheduling strategy, a sliding surface containing a compensation term has been designed, and then a sliding mode parameter and unknown network parameter heuristic joint design method has been developed. Finally, an attenuation factor based piecewise adaptive sliding mode strategy has been designed considering the influence of sampling period on system performance. Simulation results indicate that the joint design method can obtain the network parameter group which has the minimum performance function upper bound, thus achieving relatively high network utilization. The proposed piecewise adaptive sliding mode controller has good dynamic performance and is robust to the packet dropout problem caused by network scheduling and can effectively suppress chattering.

Innovative companies that generate a variety of products and services for satisfying customers’ specific needs are invoking and increasing research on mass-customized products, but the majority of their efforts are still focused on general consumers who are without disabilities. This research is motivated by the need to provide a basis of universal design guidelines and methods, primarily because of a lack of knowledge on disabilities in product design as well as methods for designing and evaluating products for everyone. Product family design is a way to achieve cost-effective mass customization by allowing highly differentiated products to be developed from a common platform while targeting products to distinct market segments. By extending concepts from product family design and mass customization to universal design, we propose a method for developing a universal product family to generate economical feasible design concepts and evaluating design feasibility with respect to disabilities within dynamic market environments. We will model design strategies for a universal product family as a market economy where functional module configurations are generated through market segments based on a product platform. A coalitional game is employed to model module sharing situations regarding dynamic market environments and decides which functional modules provide more benefit when in the platform based on the marginal contribution of each module. To demonstrate implementation of the proposed method, we use a case study involving a family of mobile phones.

This paper introduces a computer-aided concurrent tolerance design system based on real manufacturing resources (CATFM), which can ensure the optimal robust tolerance and consider real manufacturing resource owned by the factory. Firstly, the concurrent tolerance design model which can get balance between quality and cost utilizing Taguchi's quality loss function is proposed. Then the principle of concurrent tolerancing is concisely depicted through analyzing the overall structure of the system, and the design method is described in detail. Finally, an example is adopted to illustrate the proposed system.
