Feasibility of establishing a virtual furniture design offices (VFDO) is analyzed, whose task is to develop within the prescribed period of complex design solutions, fully describing the process of manufacturing and production technology of furniture products for client enterprises. We consider the logical structure of VFDO presented in the form of a multi-agent network model (MANM), and the mechanisms of formation and functioning of the unified of controlled work environment of design. A number of advantages is marked over other types of MANM models of the design process of furniture.

In this article, we investigate the potential of using a synthesis of organizational research, traditional systems analysis techniques, and agent-based computing in the creation and teaching of a Contingency Theoretic Systems Design (CTSD) model. To facilitate understanding of the new design model, we briefly provide the necessary background of these diverse fields, describe the conceptualization used in the integration process, and give a non-technical overview of an example implementation in a very complex design environment. The example utilized in this article is a Smart Agent Resource for Advising (SARA), an intelligent multi-agent advising system for college students. To test all of the potential of our CTSD model, we created SARA utilizing a distributed instructional model in a multi-university, multi-disciplinary cooperative design process.

We consider the logical structure of the technological design process (TDP) running in multi-agent medium of virtual design office of furniture (DOF) provided by a set of design procedures, each of which, in its turn, includes a number of project activities related to each other. There is formalized presentation of TDP as Metagraphy. Such formalized presentation provides opportunities to simplify the process control with dynamic structure and allow enterprises to obtain required level of detail of their structure when modeling a particular design problem.

Similarity Relationships

Product design is a multi-perspective group decision making process which has the different viewpoints together to create the solutions among stakeholders. In product design process, every stakeholder has his/her own subjective characteristics and variable perspectives which reflect his/her understandings of design objects. The perspective relationships between stakeholders will directly influence the speed of achieving solutions, which in turn affect design time and efficiency. By analyzing the similarity relationships between the participants' perspectives, this paper constructs perspective network model and applies structure matrix to develop perspective relationships. This paper focuses on incorporating perspectives into design process and developing the approaches to make decisions support for the optimal design solutions considering stakeholders’ perspectives. Finally, an example is used to demonstrate that perspective network model can analyze the impacts of perspectives on the solution.

Custom-made industrial production of cabinet furniture, focused on the needs of end-user of furniture products, imposes a number of stringent requirements on the process of designing new products. As a basic condition ensuring the fulfillment of these requirements, a modern concept of a virtual furniture design bureau (VFDB) is proposed, within which the distributed (combined) design of furniture products and ensembles is implemented. For effective development of distributed projects in a multi-agent environment of VFDB, it is necessary to use a management system that ensures coordination of the work of project participants, monitoring the current state of the project, notifying project participants about various situations in project work, etc. A feature of this control system is its invariance, i.e. independence from the design tools used in the work on the project, as well as the possibility of its dynamic adjustment to the specific structure of the design process. It is proposed to use a serial-parallel pipeline of the design as a conceptual model of the distributed design process.

Background: In the whole design process of modular fuel tank, there are some unreasonable phenomena. As a result, there are some defects in the design of modular fuel tank, and the function does not meet the requirements in advance. This paper studies this problem. Objective: Through on-the-spot investigation of the factory, a mechanical design process model is designed. The model can provide reference for product design participants on product design time and design quality, and can effectively solve the problem of low product design quality caused by unreasonable product design time arrangement. Methods: After sorting out the data from the factory investigation, computer software is used to program, simulate the information input of mechanical design process, and the final reference value is got. Results: This mechanical design process model is used to guide the design and production of a new project, nearly 3 months ahead of the original project completion time. Conclusion: This mechanical design process model can effectively guide the product design process, which is of great significance to the whole mechanical design field.

AbstractA design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.
