Design And Manufacturing

Abstract Conventional product development process employs a design-build-break philosophy. The sequentially executed product development process often results in a prolonged lead-time and an elevated product cost. The proposed concurrent design and manufacturing (CDM) process employs physics-based computational methods together with computer graphics technique for product design. This proposed approach employs Virtual Prototyping (VP) technology to support a cross-functional team analyzing product performance, reliability, and manufacturing cost early in the product development stage; and conducting quantitative trade-off for design decision making. Physical prototypes of the product design are then produced using Rapid Prototyping (RP) technique primarily for design verification purposes. The proposed CDM approach holds potential for shortening the overall product development cycle, improving product quality, and reducing product cost. A software tool environment that supports CDM for mechanical systems is being built at the Concurrent Design and Manufacturing Research Laboratory (http://cdm.ou.edu) at the University of Oklahoma. A snap shot of the environment is illustrated using a two-stroke engine example. This paper presents three unique concepts and methods for product development: (i) bringing product performance, quality, and manufacturing cost together in early design stage for design considerations, (ii) supporting design decision-making through a quantitative approach, and (iii) incorporating rapid prototyping for design verification through physical prototypes.

Early Stages

AbstractWith the rapid development of digital technologies, products connectivity is increasing as well as the data produced and collected. Forecasts on product development predict that this trend will keep on growing. In this context, new design solutions based on data are emerging. Those data-driven design approaches are common for identifying the customers' need when developing a new product. However, few studies cover data-driven design in the other early stages of product design. Thus, the research question addressed in this paper is: what are the challenges of data-driven design research in the early phases of the product development process? Through a literature review and a workshop proposed at the conference DESIGN 2020, this paper offers a first glimpse of future research leads. A list of 5 challenges for data-driven design in the early stages of product design is proposed and ranked from short term to long term.

The Impact

This paper deals with the quantitative modeling and planning of the product development process in concurrent engineering (CE). CE requires that product design and its related process design be carried out concurrently. Many existing CE models highlight the impact of the upstream design on the downstream design. While in our research, a quantitative model of the product development process in CE based on the network of product-process design activity pairs is presented to describe both the impact of the upstream product design on the downstream process design and the process design's ability of discovering the faults in the product design. Based on this model, a method is presented to determine the appropriate concurrency degree between the product and process design activities and estimate the mean duration of product-process design activity pair. Then an approach is proposed to solve the integrated optimization problem of both the allocation of resources and the planning of the product development process in CE. Its objective is to allocate the resources for the product development project reasonably to complete it before the due date, minimize its lead-time and keep the average resource utilization rate above a given level. Unlike other project scheduling problems with pre-determined numbers of the resources allocated for the project, in our research, the numbers of the resources allocated for the project are determined along with the project planning. To solve the problem, a branch-and-bound algorithm is proposed and a heuristic rule is introduced to improve its efficiency. The computational result of an example from an automobile factory shows the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Idea Evaluation

Abstract Idea visualization is a critical tool in a product development process. From early idea sketches to 3D prototyping, designers often visualize ideas for themselves and others in the process of feedback and refinement. The viewers of these ideas (clients, investors, collaborators, and consumers) rely on these visual presentations to evaluate the potential of a designer’s idea. Although sketching ideas is common practice in the product design industry, little is known about the extent to which presentation quality influences viewers’ evaluations of ideas. This paper examines the power of product sketch quality on perceived idea evaluation. In the present study, a total of 400 participants were asked to evaluate a set of product ideas presented with and without a sketch. The results show that when product sketches were presented, the participants were heavily influenced by the sketch quality when evaluating the value of the idea, and the concept ratings were somewhat different when sketches were not present. The results imply that viewers’ perceptions of idea worthiness are possibly dependent on how an idea is visually presented.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise and discuss the possible insights that can be generated for product development by analysing the user-generated content available from various social media platforms. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews the role of user generated content in developing products and its features (e.g. appearance and shape). It delineates the directions in which the relationship between social media content and customer oriented concepts evolve while developing successful new products. Findings – The review and arguments presented in this paper suggest that the social media approach adds more value than the traditional approaches for obtaining insights about the products. Availability of users’ opinions and information about existing products provide insights for the improvement in the product design process. Co-creation and self-construal are important components that are based on customer engagement and customer behaviour, respectively, in the product design and development. Practical implications – As social media creates new ways of communication with users, businesses can include users into the product development process to improve and refine their products or for making the next generation of products. Originality/value – This paper suggests a new approach in getting useful insights about the products from user-generated contents. This way of using social media helps businesses to move forward from the traditional product development paradigms.

Creating Meaning

Various ways of accessing the meaning-making process in design activity have been explored in many fields of user-centred design, participatory design and human product experienced. However, designer collaboration activities in meaning findings have rarely been studied or reported. Therefore, this research investigates the influence of designers’ collaboration on designers’ thinking in creating meaning in the design process and the design elements that influence their making. It can be concluded that experience and a more active observation with an object in design practice contribute to the better idea in the meaning-making process.
