Cross-disciplinary technologies are noticeable phenomena in modern products, as found in renewable energy and electric vehicle industries. However, current conceptual design tools have been limited to respond these cross-disciplinary technology products. One of remarkable characteristics in this technology change is transforming an existing product with multiple cross-disciplinary technologies. This paper presents a new product design paradigm, called Transformative Product Design (TPD), to respond this phenomenon. In TPD, transformation is a design process to produce a new product (i.e., transformative product) from a base product by adding and/or converting functions/features with reference products or technologies. To accomplish the transformation process, this paper develops a new Functional Concept-based Detection method. Also, the proposed functional concept-based detection method is described with a case study in the context of transformative product design process.

In this paper, the authors propose the product planning business model A-POST, which captures the customers tastes exactly and reflects them in the styling design of a product. Specifically, the authors have created a new product design concept using the text mining method which analyzes customers opinions in a language state. As an example of the application of this research, the authors applied this method to the product design process of a new scooter and obtained the results shown.

Garment Industry is one of the industries that have dumped a large amount of wasted fabric at least 30-40 kg / month. Wasted fabrics are caused by the process of sewing, hydraulic pumping, and flaws on fabric. Those wastes were not being used for any further utilization. The current work investigated the use of Upcycling, a process to converse waste material to become a new product with higher quality and environmentally friendly value, as a conceptual model in the design process and examined its value for Upcycling product design by looking at a case study project. The concept from the Upcycling framework study was chosen for the investigation in order to evaluate a case study: a wasted fabric lamp. The findings suggest that Upcycling was helpful for improving and developing a wasted fabric lamp throughout the design process: including idea development, decision making, and implementation. Based on the evaluation of 3 design experts, it was found that a wasted fabric lamp is appropriate for using new materials or raw materials that do not cause problems for the environment.
