Product Design Process

This article presents a comparative analysis of birthing beds, using two different design processes to realize if one improves user satisfaction by improving the design process. We present a comparative study between the traditional product design process (consumer product design) and the new design process based on hierarchies (proposed in this study), which improves the final design and increases user acceptance. The study focuses on pointing out the importance of a new design process for medical devices, which can improve the characteristics of the product design and thereby increase user satisfaction. The main contribution of this new process focuses on showing medical device designers the importance of considering the hierarchy of users around a medical product, considering the fluctuation of the patient's health status since depending on the progression of the disease, the patient needs the attention of various users. In turn, final users need to solve specific problems in each phase, and design needs to be prepared for each user's particular needs around the birthing bed and the patient.

This paper demonstrates a systematic process for effectively considering in the product design process the ergonomics requirements of all who will interact with a product during its entire life cycle. This process goes beyond applications of ergonomics commonly found in industry. Development of the process is discussed. Several case studies from large corporations illustrate the application of the process including: deficiencies in conventional design processes relative to order of events, time requirements, effectiveness of the final design, and project scope. The product design process is discussed relative to when and how ergonomics should be included. Relationships are explored between ergonomics, the process, and the following concepts: design for manufacturability; design for serviceability; total quality management; customer driven products; flexible manufacturing.

AbstractA design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.

Design reuse is the application of past designs knowledge and successful experience to current design process and it is a significant method for rapid design. A knowledge-reuse-based rapid product design model is proposed and a three-factor product design iterative process model is studied. Finally, it is applied successfully in the rapid product design of construction machinery combining with the requirement of the construct machinery product design.

User Hierarchy

The medical device design process has a responsibility to define the characteristics of the object to ensure its correct interaction with users. This study presents a proposal to improve medical device design processes in order to increase user acceptance by considering two key factors: the user hierarchy and the relationship with the patient’s health status. The goal of this study is to address this research gap and to increase design factors with practical suggestions for the design of new medical devices. The results obtained here will help medical device designers make more informed decisions about the functions and features required in the final product during the development stage. In addition, we aim to help researchers with design process didactics that demonstrate the importance of the correct execution of the process and how the factors considered can have an impact on the final product. An experiment was conducted with 40 design engineering students who designed birthing beds via two design processes: the traditional product design process and the new design process based on hierarchies (proposed in this study). The results showed a significant increase in the user acceptance of the new birthing bed developed with the hierarchical-based design process.

Sustainable Product

To achieve sustainable product design, it is crucial to use sustainability assessment during the product design process. In this paper, numerous sustainability assessment methodologies in product design are reviewed. A comprehensive assessment of sustainability has been reported to present better performance for improving product sustainability. This review focused on the consideration of sustainability elements by previous researchers that have proposed integrated design tools, commercial software tools and combination both methods in supporting the methodologies. Based on this review, it can be concluded that the inclusion of sustainability performance among the assessment criteria in the design process activities is suggested as a critical point of concern which presents a challenge and is a great opportunity to develop useful guidelines or directions for industries or any product-based project so that the proposed approach will be accepted for implementation in the working environment.
