Hierarchy Process

Pemilihan konsep reka bentuk yang sesuai di peringkat reka bentuk gagasan dalam proses pembangunan produk adalah merupakan keputusan yang genting. Keputusan yang tidak tepat boleh menyebabkan sesuatu produk itu perlu direka bentuk semula atau dikilang semula. Salah satu daripada keadah yang boleh digunakan dalam menentukan konsep reka bentuk yang paling sesuai adalah process hierarki beranalitis (AHP). AHP telah digunakan dalam hampir kesemua aplikasi yang berkaitan dengan membuat sesuatu keputusan. Dalam kertas kerja ini, hasil daripada kajian kes menunjukkan bahawa konsep AHP boleh membantu pereka bentuk untuk membuat penilaian secara berkesan daripada pelbagai konsep reka bentuk di peringkat reka bentuk gagasan. Kertas kerja ini memaparkan kaedah pemilihan konsep reka bentuk dengan menggunakan proses hierarki beranalitis. Kata kunci: Process hierarki beranalitis; reka bentuk gagasan; proses pembangunan produk; perbandingan pasangan; pembangunan kerusi roda Selecting the right design concept at conceptual design stage in product development process is a crucial decision. Inaccurate decision can cause the product to be redesigned or remanufactured. One of the useful tools that can be employed in determining the most appropriate design concept is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP has been employed in almost all applications related to decision–making problems. In this paper, the results of a case study illustrates that AHP concept can assist designers to effectively evaluate various conceptual design alternatives at the conceptual design stage. This paper presents the methodology of selecting design concepts using analytical hierarchy process.

Customer satisfaction is key for survival and success in today’s consumer market. It is crucial that the customer be used to differentiate between different variants of a product, also known as a company’s product portfolio. Numerous examples in industry prove the benefit of a platform strategy in product development. The aim is to capture a wider market share by launching a number of products based on a common platform and to reduce design and development cost by reducing design cycle time. In this paper we explore the possibility of using high level customer needs alone to define the product’s base platform and differentiating modules. The basic idea is to outline platform and differentiating modules during conceptual design stage of product development and thus plan a product family before we consider any architecture. Planning platforms in conceptual design stage reduces additional costs associated with designing, manufacturing and managing resources for each variant separately. We use design tools such as the functional basis and functional modeling in our approach. In this work we seek to validate the technique by first applying it to existing products and comparing the results against known product platforms. In this paper we outline platform and differentiating modules for a bike and shop vacuum. Future work will focus on applying this approach for more products and finally to new products during conceptual design stage.

Eco Features

Lighting products are essential for our modern life nowadays, but they also produce high negative impacts on the environment. Although there are tools and methods available for reducing the environmental impact of lighting products, it is a challenging task to integrate them throughout the product development process. To overcome the challenge, this research developed an approach to integrate tools/methods relevant for the eco-design through product development process to reduce the environmental impact of lighting products. Six types of methods, such module design, and 30 tools, such as lifecycle assessment software packages, are considered in the integrated approach. The product specification with eco-constrains is established for implementation at each design stage to ensure the product eco-features. The approach was applied in the development of an LED table lamp which was then assessed in comparison with a benchmark LED lamp regarding environmental lifecycle impact and lighting performance. The comparative assessment results indicate that the LED lamp developed with this approach is much better than the benchmark lamp.

Changing Role

In recent years, the benefits of using FEA or design analysis as part of conceptual design have become apparent. The direct involvement of design engineers in analyzing their own designs allows for quick turnaround times and ensures that design modifications indicated by analysis results are promptly implemented in the design progress. Used properly, it yields trustworthy results that are already driving efficiencies and cost savings in industries ranging from consumer goods to automotive. This paper will outline the advances in technology which have made this change possible.

Conceptual Design Phase

Faster product lifecycles make long-term investments in machines for micro assembly riskier. Therefore, reconfigurable manufacturing systems gain more and more attention. But most companies are uncertain if a reconfigurable manufacturing system can fulfill their needs and justify the initial investment. New and improved techniques for product development have the potential to foster the utilization and decrease the investment risk for such systems. In this paper, four different methods for product development are reviewed. A set of criteria regarding micro assembly on reconfigurable manufacturing systems RMS is established. Based on those criteria and the assessment, a novel approach for a product development method is provided, which tries to combine the strengths of the beforehand presented approaches. It focuses on the conceptual design phase to overcome the customers’ uncertainty in the development process. For this, an abstract representation of a micro-assembly product idea as well as a decision tree for joining processes are established and validated by real product ideas using expert interviews. The validation shows that the conceptual design phase can be used as a useful tool in the product development process in the field of micro assembly.

An accurate understanding of users' needs is essential for the development of innovative products. This article presents an exploratory method of user centered research in the context of the design process of technological products, conceived from the demands of a large information technology company. The method is oriented - but not restricted - to the initial stages of the product development process, and uses low-resolution prototypes and simulations of interactions, allowing users to imagine themselves in a future context through fictitious environments and scenarios in the ambit of ideation. The method is effective in identifying the requirements of the experience related to the product’s usage and allows rapid iteration on existing assumptions and greater exploration of design concepts that emerge throughout the investigation.
