New Framework

The growth of computer science and technology has brought new opportunities for multidisciplinary designers and engineers to collaborate with each other in a concurrent and coordinated manner. The development of computational agents with unified data structures and software protocols can contribute to the establishment of a new way of working in collaborative design, which is increasingly becoming an international practice. In this paper, we first propose a computational model of collaborative product design management aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the cooperation and coordination among participating disciplines. Then, we present a new framework of collaborative design which adopts an agent-based approach and relocates designers, managers, systems, and supporting agents in a unified knowledge representation scheme for product design. An agent-based system is now being implemented and the design of a set of dinning table and chairs is chosen to demonstrate how the system can help designers in the management and coordination of the collaborative product design process.

Design Coordination

Today’s design environment has become more distributed and professional. Efficient design management can greatly improve the ability of a company’s competition. To increase efficiency of a design process coordination of Computer-Aided Design and Analysis tools are very important, especially for large complicated systems. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a requirement driven system. Design process usually involves fulfillment of requirements from top-end customer. Adopting requirement driven mechanisms will provide more convenience for design coordination automation and help us find the most resource saving solutions for specific product design. A CORBA framework is discussed to facilitate the implementation of methodologies for requirement driven design coordination. System architecture and modules for the framework are introduced to support a requirement publishing and responding service. Distribution of the tasks is determined by “stigmergy” algorithm, which makes the decision using the performance history of each team and designers. An example of a coffeemaker product design based on the framework, is presented to demonstrate the application of new design system.

A global firm's success is conditioned by its ability to manage the system of intangible corporate assets (corporate culture, corporate identity, and information system) and intangible product assets (product design, brand equity and pre/after-sales services). Corporate imitation and innovation processes are a primary condition to compete in global markets and entail identifying and proposing design management products with 'new' features that change over time and space. Product design defines the functions that qualify a product or service to identify and organise the distinctive specifications of the firm’s offer, and develop goods and services based on the analysis of competition and demand needs (customer satisfaction). Competitive design management can be oriented towards different forms of flexible production (The Fourth Industrial Revolution), specifically related to products based on planned obsolescence, total quality, or a rigid competitive philosophy of zero defects.

Industrial design as profession has begun to expand its scope in business practices with the recent developments in design management, design thinking, and technology. However, curricula of industrial design studio remain traditional and mainly focuses on designing products. In fact, design management and design thinking go beyond product design and expand design’s scope to establishing business strategies, design innovation and service design by positioning humans and their needs at the center. Besides, the technological shift happened through Industry 4.0 enables to adapt IT hardware into systems, products and services, and make them smart and unified. To keep up with these paradigm changes and prepare our students to the rapidly changing business environment, we initiated a Smart Product Service System (Smart-PSS) design project with the 3rd-grade students of Bahçeşehir University in the 2019-2020 Spring semester during which online education had just become a part of our lives. In this article, we present three student projects as case studies of Smart-PSSs designed in three stages as system design, product design, and interface design. As a result, students gain a more holistic approach toward the design process, acknowledge the new expansions of industrial design, and its transformative role for businesses.

This project is dedicated on understanding how expertise can have an affect on developing the Design Agent skills. It was based on interviews and observation conducted in five design offices located in Londrina (Paraná, Brasil), through this research was possible to identify which are the techniques and methods most used by professional, from both Graphic and Product Design area, and therefore ascertain how Strategic Design Management and Design Thinking actuate on improving professional’s skills on the innovation process of the companies. It took as a basis the studies of several authors, such as Brown (2009), Cross (2007), Demarchi (2011), Lawson (2006) and Martin (2009), which discourse, among other issues, about Design Thinking and its implications. By the use of ethnography methodology, the data was collected, analyzed and organized into comparative charts, relating the novice Design Agents with expert Design Agents. It was proved that experience can hold two distinct aspects; A positive one, that comes as a result from the holistic vision and ensure sensibility to the Design Agent to handle situations; And an unfavorable one, once the expert is strictly guided by intuition, it sets aside creativity hampering the innovation process. Besides it was possible to verify that although the enterprises and the Design Agents work using different techniques and methods, visual tools such as mind maps, sketches, visual panels and mockups are seen as essential resources for all the professionals.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.2288

AbstractIn response to rapidly changing market and customer needs, product design and development (PDD) is evolving into a human-centred and data-driven design paradigm. The design environment gets more open often involving crowdsourcing and the design process becomes more complex, considering product family design along product whole lifecycle development, and needing more data support. Therefore, it is critical to effectively capture, share, and manage design-related information in such a complex design environment. From this perspective, it is a prerequisite to have a proper product design lifecycle information model (PDLIM) to guide information gathering, sharing and management. To the best of our knowledge, currently, there lacks such a PDLIM to support effective PDD, though digital twin (DT) technology shows a great potential of supporting product lifecycle information collection and management. In this paper, the overall structure of the proposed PDLIM is firstly developed to frame in all main product lifecycle stages and the corresponding key phases for structurally capturing and storing necessary data along a product lifecycle. Secondly, key design information items against the main product lifecycle stages and their corresponding key phases are explored from literature reviews and case study analyses. Thirdly, the necessity of the identified information items in the PDLIM is qualitatively evaluated by two case studies. Finally, the PDLIM is further evaluated by applying formal object-role modelling (ORM) to demonstrate how design information items are used and interacted in exemplary design interaction scenarios, and to approve that it can be formally described and managed as an information model. The evaluation results show that the PDLIM is feasible to be adapted in a crowdsourcing-combined PDD process for supporting design management, reviewing, quality control, and next round product redesign and improvement.
