Integrating Product Form Preference into Engineering Design
نویسنده
چکیده
The product form has an important role in the judgment of a product, and increasingly more products within a market segment have similar technology and performance. This has elevated the importance of the appearance of a product, and being the first impression of a product visual, this work presents methods for the integration of the product form preference into the engineering design process. Three experiments were performed with the purpose of designing products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing; one experiment for prediction models comparisons, and two experiments for form quantification metric development.

Adaptive Questionnaires for Direct Identification of Optimal Product Design
We consider the problem of identifying the most profitable product design from a finite set of candidates under unknown consumer preference. A standard approach to this problem follows a two-step strategy: First, estimate the preference of the consumer population, represented as a point in part-worth space, using an adaptive discrete-choice questionnaire. Second, integrate the estimated part-wo...

The product design process operates over user needs to develop functional specifications which are further developed into physical forms. Manufacturing information fed into function-based design provides an effective tool for this function to form transformation. Multidisciplinary teams formed across the supply chain are charged with this process for large-scale product development. For small e...

This article reviews a method for generating a product model from user data and introduces 12 design patterns for resolving conflicts that may occur in the integration and normalization process. The generating method and design patterns were evaluated during a project to integrate the product models collected from three different precast concrete companies in the United States, testing the new ...
متن کاملAttribute Selection for Preference Functions in Engineering Design
Industrial Engineering is a broad multidisciplinary field with intersections and applications in numerous areas. When designing a product, it is important to determine the appropriate attributes of value and the preference function for which the product is optimized. This paper provides some guidelines on appropriate selection of attributes for preference and value functions for engineering des...
