Clustering and Rough Set-Based Knowledge Discovery for Product Family Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Product family planning has received much attention from both academia and industries. It aims at incorporating customers’ needs into design elements of product family. The main challenger for product family planning originates from difficulties in mapping customer needs to product family specifications. This paper intends to develop a method to improve the mapping process by reusing knowledge from purchased products according to the satisfied customer needs. A knowledge discovery model for product family planning is proposed, where clustering is adopted to partition the purchased products so that commonality of product family could be effectively addressed and rough set is employed to extract the more concise decision rules. A case study of air condition is reported to illustrate the feasibility of proposed approach and associated algorithms.

Product configuration design is of critical importance in design for mass customization. This paper will investigate two important issues in configuration design. The first issue is requirement configuration and a dependency analysis approach is proposed and implemented to link customer groups with clusters of product specifications. The second issue concerns the engineering configuration and i...
متن کاملKnowledge Discovery to Support Product Family Design
Abstract Sharing and reusing product design knowledge can help reduce cost and lead time when developing new products and facilitate product family design. Knowledge associated with product design can be represented by combining constraints, functions, rules, and facts. An appropriate representation scheme for products and their design is important to share and reuse the knowledge effectively. ...
