▼ ABSTRACT This thesis details the application of product family design tools to a future line of robots. A number of design tools are discussed and applied using both marketing and engineering data related to the robot product family. The Applied Research Laboratory’s (ARL) trade space exploration tool – the ARL Trade Space Visualizer (ATSV) – is reviewed as well, followed by a discussion of how ATSV can use the conclusions in this thesis to guide exploration of the robot family design space. The primary data provided for this thesis included surveys of existing robots’ abilities, as well as conceptual mission scenarios that encompass the requirements for the family of next-generation robots. Each scenario had dozens of quantitative requirements and functional needs along with accompanying data to score the effectiveness of existing robots. In order to reduce the number of variables for trade space exploration, the scenarios were grouped using fuzzy C-means clustering with respect to the scenarios’ requirements and functionality into 9 clusters based on the best fit to the data. Histograms were also created for the individual scenarios and clusters to visualize the resulting distributions, allowing noteworthy and difficult outliers to be quickly identified for future discussion. To connect the mission scenarios to existing robot architectures, two quantitative design tools were applied to three existing third-party robots. The first design tool, Generational Variety Index (GVI), used matrices to score future market needs that are not currently satisfied and determine which subsystems/modules will most likely need to be redesigned to satisfy these needs. The second design tool, Design Structure Matrix (DSM), examined internal connections and interfaces in the robots to determine how redesign in one subsystem would affect other subsystem. Both design tools highlighted the subsystems and specifications that were most influential (or most influenced). The final analysis combined both the mission scenario data and the design tools to examine each subsystem or specification for use in the robot platform. For each subsystem, the analysis explains whether it could satisfy all scenarios in a single (or a few) forms, if standardization is possible in certain dimensions to reduce engineering costs; and for the more difficult-to-standardize subsystems, what redesign would make standardization more possible. The conclusions, meant as educated suggestions for further investigation in ATSV, are listed by subsystem and specification.

▼ The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cross-functional knowledge conversion within Taiwanese high-technology small and medium-sized enterprise's (SME) new product development (NPD) teams. An analysis of 107 Taiwanese high-technology SMEs' management characteristics found a complex knowledge structure is better adopted for cross-functional knowledge conversion during the NPD period than existing or simple knowledge structure models. In addition, a Processual strategy moderated the relationships between organisational knowledge structures and four-all steps within knowledge conversion to knowledge transfer; in contrast, Classical strategy was shown only to have moderated effects during the planning and developing stage of the NPD period. Following Blackler's (1995) organisational theory, this study also found the socialisation and externalisation stages require both knowledge features from communication-intensive organisation and symbolic-analyst-dependent organisation within the NPD team's knowledge conversion. Knowledge features from a knowledge-routinised organisation are required at the combination stage; and finally, the knowledge features from an expert-dependent organisation are required at the internalisation stage. Observed strategies can be categorised as being Classical or Processual oriented (Whittington, 1993). This study describes how the strategy moderates the relationship between the organisational knowledge structures and the four knowledge-creation steps, socialisation, externalisation, combination and internalisation for NPD teams. Results showed that the requirement upon strategy differed among stages within the NPD period. During the transfer process, Processual strategy moderated the relationships between organisational knowledge structures and steps within conversion to knowledge transfer during the planning, developing, marketing and commercialisation stages of the NPD period even the negative moderating effects showed in some stages. In contrast, Classical strategy was shown only to have negative moderating effects during the planning and developing stage. Survey results also showed that the highly formalised communication model and periodic meetings advocated by Song et al (1996 & 2002) were gradually replaced by a bounded transfer and less formalised approach. However this study does not find that a consistent approach to strategy, using either PS or CS is likely to smooth the NPD process between marketing and R & D in high technology Taiwanese firms. It is possible that other schools, such as the Evolutionary or Systemic schools suggested by Whittington may fit more closely than the two tested in this study; and this will be the topic of further investigation. However, it is clear that different stages require contradictory processes and outcome routines; thus it is likely that conflict and inconsistency is actually the normal by-product of successful NPD's knowledge conversion.

▼ The following document reports a graduation project done at the LEGO Group, by a student from the Delft University of Technology. It was the student's assignment to take a look at how LEGO can enter the professional market with a product that combines LEGO with sheet materials. Within the project, product designers were defined as the target market. They use LEGO quite often in their work, but unfortunately, many times they end up confronted with the limits of the system. The project started with finding out how many product designers there are to address, what they can spend and what they need. The first needs were found by conducting 15 interviews among product designers. This narrowed the focus to where this project should go and where it should not. Main outcome of the interviews was that these people have workshop related problems and thereby are likely to use LEGO. They would like to see more flexibility in the LEGO system and get much more options for specific cases. These outcomes were used in the synthesis of concepts. In the synthesis phase several concepts were developed with the help of context mapping with another set of product designers. Their unmet needs became clearer and three concepts were defined. The concept that was chosen was based on flexible parts and parts that can attach the LEGO system to the 'real world'. This should stimulate designers to faster test their ideas and concepts on their desk or in the workshop and finally making product designs better. This concept was worked out to a final product+packaging proposal which was tested in the end with 7 product designers. Result is that the concept works, but some bricks should be tested again (but then) in the right materials and for a longer time. Finally, the whole product design was wrapped up in a business planning for the next 4 years. The first step is to launch small and to do more extensive research before the product can be scaled up to global market after 3-4 years. Expected is that this product, after investing and launching small can become a self sustaining business model that can deliver around 1-2 million euros each year in a mature market.

▼ This study focuses on critical design practice. The research challenges the colloquial understanding of ‘critical design.’ It problematises, defines and reassesses the concept of ‘critical design’ situating it among other forms of critical design practice. The research reviews the field of activity from a historical perspective. It reviews contemporary activity in contexts of design research and the gallery system to establish domain authorities and theoretical perspectives that inform critical design practice. The research draws from a body of literature relating to design theory and critical design practice to identify several important themes by which to discuss the practice. The research employs a hermeneutic methodology and engages expert ‘critical’ designers through a series of conversational interviews. The interviews are analysed using code to theory methods of inductive qualitative analysis and subjected to hermeneutic analysis that draws on the extensive contextual review. Salient concepts found in the discourse are extracted, theorised and organised to create taxonomy of critical design practice. In the taxonomy, the field of critical design practice is categorised by three types of practice: Associative Design, Speculative Design and Critical Design. These three practices are differentiated by topics addressed in each and further differentiated by the type of Satire, Narrative and Object Rationality used in each practice. The original contribution of this research is a Taxonomy of critical practice in product design, which consists of a written and visual dimension. The taxonomy acts as a discursive tool to chart design activity and it illustrates the diversity in critical design practice beyond the colloquial understanding of ‘critical design’. The taxonomy presents three distinct types of critical design practice; it outlines the design methods used to establish the critical move through design and identifies the contexts where critical design is practiced. It can be used to compare projects, chart designers’ activity over time, illustrate trajectories of practice and identify themes in practice. The taxonomy provides theoretical apparatus to analyse the field. Such analysis contributes towards a discussion on critical design within design studies.

▼ In recent years, numerous methods to aid designers in conceptualizing new products have been developed. These methods intend to give structure to a process that was, at one time, considered to be a purely creative exercise. Resulting from the study, implementation, and refinement of design methodologies is the notion that both the structure of the development process and the structure of the developed product are key factors in creating value in a firm?s product line. With respect to the latter key factor, product architecture, but more specifically, modular product architecture has been the subject of much study. However, prior research in the area of modular product architecture has, with limited exception, focused on the construction of modules that are to be incorporated into a product before it becomes available to its end-users; that is, the modules are incorporated ?pre-market.? The research contained in this thesis is focused on two tasks: advancing the notion of a modular product architecture in which modules can be incorporated into a product ?post-market,? and creating a method that aids designers in synthesizing these post-market modules. Researchers have examined the idea of post-market modules; however, they do not fully formalize language used to describe these modules, and they also do not give the product space created by post-market modularization well-defined boundaries. Additionally, the prior work gives no method that can be used to create post-market modules. The research presented here addresses these shortcomings in the prior work by first, defining the terms ?derivative product? and ?host product? to describe the post-market module and the product that the module augments, respectively. Second, by establishing three guidelines that are used to assess the validity of potential derivative products, giving the newly termed host and derivative product space defined boundaries. And lastly, by developing a 7-step, biomimetic-based methodology that can be used to create derivative product concepts (post-market modules). This developed methodology is applied to four case studies in which it is used to create five derivative product concepts for a given host product. Thus, 20 derivative product concepts are developed in this study, demonstrating the qualitative effectiveness of the 7-step methodology. Advisors/Committee Members: McAdams, Daniel A.

▼ Product family design is a popular approach for designing a group of related products to strategically share common features and components. One method for developing product families is by using a combination of shared and unique modules. The success of a modular product family largely depends on the proper selection of modules and module boundaries. While a number of methods exist for the modularization of individual products, many of these methods are not currently suited for use with product families. The objective of this research is to develop a method for extending the use of popular component-based modularization methods to product families. This thesis primarily consists of two distinct manuscripts. In the first manuscript, a method for extending the use of DSM clustering to the modularization of diverse product families is presented. In this approach, the modular architecture of the product family is optimized while also maximizing commonality between products. A Pareto front is developed of different architectures that produce optimal strategic modularity and maximized commonality in the product family. The proposed method is applied in a case study to the design of a product family of power tools. In this case study, the quality of the modular architecture is evaluated using a DSM (Design Structure Matrix) for each product. Three architectures along the Pareto front are chosen and examined to demonstrate the usefulness of the technique. The second manuscript presents an approach that incorporates the use of the proposed modularization method in the design of universal product families. The approach utilizes market segmentation techniques and action-function modeling to identify the special design requirements for disabled users. An algorithmic approach is employed to generate modular architecture alternatives for constructing the detailed product family. The approach is demonstrated using a case study over the design of typical and inclusive vehicle driver seats.

Modular product platforms, sets of common modules that are shared among a product family, can bring cost savings and enable introduction of multiple product variants quicker than without platforms. This thesis describes the current state of modular platform design and identifies gaps in the current state. The gaps were identified through application of three existing methods and by testing their usability and reliability on engineers and engineering students. Existing platform or modular design methods either are meant for (a) single products, (b) identify only module "cores" leaving the final module boundary definition to the designer, and (c) use only a limited set of evaluation criteria. I introduce a clustering algorithm for common module identification that takes into account possible degrees of commonality. This new algorithm can be applied both at physical and functional domains and at any, and even mixed, levels of hierarchy. Furthermore, the algorithm is not limited to a single measure for commonality analysis. To select the candidate modules for the algorithm, a key discriminator is how difficult the interfaces become. I developed an interface complexity metric based on minimizing redesign in case of a design change. The metric is based on multiple expert interviews during two case studies. The new approach was to look at the interface complexity as described by the material, energy, and information flows flowing through the interface. Finally, I introduce a multi criteria platform scorecard for improved evaluation of modular platforms. It helps a company focus on their strategy and benchmark one's own platform to the competitors'. These tools add to the modular platform development process by filling in the gaps identified. The tools are described in the context of the entire platform design process, and the validity of the methods and applicability to platform design is shown through industrial case studies and examples.

▼ The demand for consumer goods in the developing world continues to rise as populations and economies grow. As designers, manufacturers, and consumers look for ways to address this growing demand, many are considering the possibilities of 3D printing. Due to 3D printing’s flexibility and relative mobility, it is speculated that 3D printing could help to meet the growing demands of the developing world. While the merits and challenges of distributed manufacturing with 3D printing have been presented, little work has been done to determine the types of products that would be appropriate for such manufacturing. Inspired by the author’s two years of Peace Corps service in the Tanzania and the need for specialty equipment for various projects during that time, an in-depth literature search is undertaken to better understand and summarize the process and capabilities of 3D printing. Human-centered design considerations are developed to focus on the product desirability, the technical feasibility, and the financial viability of using 3D printing within Tanzania. Beginning with concerns of what Tanzanian consumers desire, many concerns later arise in regards to the feasibility of creating products that would be sufficient in strength and quality for the demands of developing world consumers. It is only after these concerns are addressed that the viability of products can be evaluated from an economic perspective. The larger impacts of a product beyond its use are vital in determining how it will affect the social, economic, and environmental well-being of a developing nation such as Tanzania. Thus technology specific criteria are necessary for assessing and quantifying the broader impacts that a 3D-printed product can have within its ecosystem, and appropriate criteria are developed for this purpose. Both sets of criteria are then demonstrated and tested while evaluating the desirability, feasibility, viability, and sustainability of printing a piece of equipment required for the author’s Peace Corps service: a set of Vernier calipers. Required for science educators throughout the country, specialty equipment such as calipers initially appear to be an ideal candidate for 3D printing, though ultimately the printing of calipers is not recommended due to current restrictions in the technology. By examining more specific challenges and opportunities of the products 3D printing can produce, it can be better determined what place 3D printing will have in manufacturing for the developing world. Furthermore, the considerations outlined in this paper could be adapted for other manufacturing technologies and regions of the world, as human centered design and sustainability will be critical in determining how to supply the developing world with the consumer goods it demands.

▼ Manufacturers throughout the world continuosly search for improvements in order to increase their profitability. This search becomes even more challenging when demand uncertainty and fluctuations are considered. In order to achieve better profitability, many researchers and practitioners have attempted to search for improvements in the shop floor. However, within the last two decades, it has been determined that the design of the product family also provides opportunities for improvements. Designing the product family that will respond to the requirements of the customer demand is essential for the survival of companies in today’s competitive markets. When meeting customer requirements, companies also need to take cost initiatives into account. Overall, while many approaches have been proposed to optimize product family design for measures of cost and performance, many of these approaches fail to incorporate the complexity of the manufacturing issues into family design decision-making. The assembly scheduling strategies can be considered as one of the most important of those manufacturing issues. This research presents a computer simulation study by which the impact of assembly scheduling on the product family design outcomes is investigated. Overall, the research builds upon the foundation provided by Kariyakar (2000), which established computer simulation as a way to investigate product family design decisions; and it extends the studies of Su et al. (2005) wherein cost and expected customer waiting time were estimated using stochastics calculations. Simulation was used because it can provide a realistic model that is sensitive to the demand randomness and process variations. Using the results of the simulation study, analysis of different assembly scheduling and product family design strategies can be compared for performance and profitability. It is expected that when product family design decisions are made with the consideration of assembly scheduling strategies, the outcomes at the shop floor level improve. The verification of this expectation is investigated. The results have implications for companies that seek to increase their revenue without extensively increasing their investment in the shop floor.

▼ This paper presents a system for digitally manufacturing hyper personalised sets of cutlery for stroke patients. Stroke produces a wide variety of physical, cognitive, emotional and social effects that vary widely among individuals and may include weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, contractures and inability to rotate joints. This design addresses the factors including weakened grip strength, contracted wrist and fingers, limited range of motion in the wrist, hand tremors and lack of control. Becoming independent again is an essential stage for patients and difficulty performing standard eating tasks is a commonly reported effect after stroke, which is challenging physically and emotionally. There are existing ergonomic eating aids on the market, but none that offer personalisation for the widely different physiological effects of stroke, or that effectively integrate a sense of progression and achievement, which is the key to keeping patients motivated and confident throughout the rehabilitation process. This study investigates the way design can help reduce product related and social stigma for upper limb stroke rehabilitation patients in the use of cutlery. This research explores the way that a parametric system can be implemented to aid clinicians in identifying the individual needs of patients against a list of criteria. This design study has developed a set of cutlery that assists patients, making them feel confident and comfortable using cutlery in situations outside of their homes, as well as assisting as a therapy device. This research presents a parametric system that allows for controlling the variables relative to the design criteria based on the patient’s physiological abilities. The variables include the ability to change the diameter and size of the handle, the curve of the utensil in the (x,y) plane, the angle of the handle in the (x,z) plane and the depth of the finger groove which accommodates the index finger. The paper presents the main findings from how participants experienced stigma, clinicians feedback on the appropriateness of the cutlery designs, and how personalisation contributes to motivation within therapy. These main findings conclude that cutlery designed for stroke patients needs to be personalised, as each patient has very individual needs according to their very individual impairments. Current cutlery does not address them all and even less address them through personalisation. The specific variables in the system need to be controlled and restricted to ensure that all 40,000 of the possible outcomes are effective. Advisors/Committee Members: Rodriguez-Ramirez, Edgar.

▼ The application of product families and platforms has gained attention as a promising approach to achieving organizational objectives that provide customers with mass customized products while allowing for significant savings from commonality and reuse strategies. While the single-platform strategy has been widely studied, it may lead to the over expansion of the product family. Designers have to either continuously extend the exiting platform and/or impose strict constraints on new variants in order that there is a fit. On the one hand, continuously â extendingâ or â stretchingâ the platform forces the platform to become overburdened and less efficient. On the other hand, imposing strict constraints on new variants will force new variants to compromise performances. In this research, the concept of a multi-platform strategy has been put forward to reduce or eliminate negative effects of the single-platform strategy by coordinating products in a complex product family into two or more platforms to provide enough product variety as well as commonality. The method is developed by adopting and synthesizing various tools and concepts from different research areas, such as design management tools, clustering analysis, statistics, decision analysis, mathematical programming, and engineering costing. The product assets that can be shared by the products are determined through product asset value analysis and redesign effort analysis. The number of platforms is flexibly determined by a hierarchical clustering method based on product similarity/dissimilarity. The product-platform assignment problem is simultaneously solved during the clustering process. A multi-objective optimization model is formulated to determine the design specifications and address the product positioning. A Consistent Aggregate Function Formation Method (CAF2M) is put forward to convert the multi-objective optimization model into a single-dimension problem that can quantitatively balance the tradeoff among the multiple objectives. To evaluate the economic benefit from the platform-based product development, an adjusted Activity-Based Costing approach is utilized to identify the cost savings with the consideration of learning effects. A case application with seven automobile models is utilized to illustrate the proposed multi-platform strategy. The method was found helpful for determining and integrating critical design information into the design of product families and platforms. Advisors/Committee Members: Terpenny, Janis P.

▼ Heat dissipation is an essential consideration for the hardware design of the handheld electronic devices. For such devices the surface temperature needs to be maintained at a level that is comfortable and that will not create risks of skin burn or user thermal discomfort. As the packaging of handheld electronic devices becomes smaller and thinner, effectively dissipating the heat generated by components such as central processing unit, power supply and batteries, while maintaining a comfortable and safe surface temperature, is becoming more challenging. Current standards provide information on the maximum surface temperature to prevent skin burns, but not user thermal comfort. Many experimental studies have investigated the skin temperature thresholds for thermal sensation and heat pain. However, only limited research exists on how users' cutaneous thermal sensation and comfort is affected by prolonged duration in contact with electronic devices. Research is also lacking on the effects of heat distribution patterns and the characteristics of surface materials. In the present work a comprehensive literature review was conducted on various aspects related to thermal sensation and comfort. A preliminary survey was completed to understand laptop users' thermal comfort and its relation with surface temperature. A novel tablet-size heating surface was developed. Afterwards, a series of experiments was completed to systematically investigate how finger and palm thermal sensation and comfort were affected by the following variables: the surface temperature, the ambient temperature, the rate of surface temperature change, the spatial distribution of the heat, and the roughness of texture. Results from these studies have practical implications for the future design of handheld electronic devices. Future research also may focus on extending the current work to study more varied user tasks and other body parts that may be in contact with future electronic devices.

▼ Redefinition design is a special case of speculative and critical design; it is intended to be used by designers in facing otherwise recalcitrant or refractory design situations. One subject that generates more refractory design situations than most is money. Thus, money will be the vehicle used to derive, articulate and apply the redefinition design methods. The future of money is heavily informed by ideas from its past. In this regard, the services and systems based around money, including industries focused on design, often embody a conservative culture that perpetuates old paradigms onto new technology. In this dissertation, I propose two research questions: RQ1: Paradigm Paralysis – what characterises the underlying assumptions that heavily inform the design and development of money? In the context of investigating the new methods associated with Redefinition Design, we firstly begin to examine and interrogate underlying and often tacit assumptions, taking the specific case of money. Though this question I elucidate the fundamental principles of money, which lie at the core of the longstanding mainstream monetary paradigm. The totality of money is broken down into four main constituents: monetary artefacts, currency systems, monetary mentifacts and finally the functional axioms of money. Revealing these core principles, and analysing them within specific cultural contexts, will inform the methods used in the development of the practical work. RQ2: Paradigm Breakout – What characterises a methodology that can facilitate designers to step beyond the underlying assumptions informing the development of money? This research has yielded strategies that allow the radical re-conception and design of currency systems and monetary artefacts, through the application of a redefinition design approach. The Redefinition Design methods developed in this research enable the designer to identify suitable alternative cultural contexts, such as historic or literary contexts. The methods prompt us to deconstruct these contexts, then reconstruct them with a design proposal that resonates with all cultural levels of the given context. Hence, in the case of entrenched social technologies like money, the resulting Redefinition Design proposals are harmonious with the alternative culture, but incongruous in the context of contemporary culture. These methods do not instigate a paradigm shift but rather a paradigm breakout.

▼ This practice-led PhD explores ‘how highly specialised and innovative new design practice is made accessible to new audiences in the context of the museum’ (AHRC CDA Award call, RCA, 2010). Innovative new design was further specified as ‘highly academic, speculative, critical and experimental, often dealing with new technologies or ways of working, developing design as an agent of social or cultural change.’The call challenged designers to ‘articulate their processes and practices in ways that can be understood by, and influence, the general public.’ This PhD consists of a case study in the form of a six-month residency at the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in 2013, entitled ‘The Department of Seaweed’ (DoS), as well as a design theoretical contextualisation of its framework, methods and outcomes. Among these are insights into how to co-develop design outcomes and knowledge by working with natural resources. This led me to propose a new method for cospeculative design that integrates open ended material exploration and systems level speculation through participatory critical practice in a museum residency. The outlook of design thus shifts from critical speculation towards design for transition, set against the challenges of the 21st century and beyond. The setting for this thesis is the interrelation of the following three subjects: Methods of Making, Transition Design and Museum Residencies. I established the DoS as a community of practice (CoP) around the development of seaweed as a material for making. Our approach connected making, practice-based research and generative material development with participatory methods and speculation — exploring perspectives from critical, speculative and transition design — and enabling multiple, interlinked forms of participation through dialogue, speculation, making and reflection, both on design practice and the museum. The museum, in the context of this PhD, is understood as a public place of sensemaking and knowledge sharing. As a cultural node, both analogue and digitally networked, it enables the community it is embedded within to access its own past. This thesis proposes that by means of resident and mobile CoP, museums also present ideal places for shared knowing, speculation about and actively shaping preferable futures. I propose using museum residencies as public research and development labs for nonnormative practices, enabling participants to develop a field of visions, identify the inherent potentials of a project and link multiple projects up into an infrastructure by growing a community of practice. Museum residencies can be ideal settings for practice-led research projects that are informed by — and inform— the museum and its community and can link up individual ideas and concepts into communities of practice intent on collaborating to pursue the next steps. The thesis also outlines how ethical, value-based frameworks may govern co-operation — particularly important relating to the use of natural resources such as seaweed.

▼ In the current transport landscape, where chronic problems such as congestion, insufficient parking spaces and air pollution beset urban areas, car sharing has been suggested as an alternative to mitigate these issues. With the emergence and growing popularity of the sharing economy, a shifting perception towards car ownership has paved the way towards rapid growth in shared mobility. The car club – or car sharing – as a service, enables people to go without their own car, yet use one when they need to. This flexible transport option has grown rapidly in many metropolises around the world. In London, it is forecast that the total number of round-trips car club memberships will increase from 137,000 in 2013 to approximately 264,000 by 2020 (Frost & Sullivan, 2014). As car sharing’s popularity rises, it is critical to better understand car club users with their varied lifestyles and mindsets. Therefore, this research focuses on obtaining an in-depth understanding of car club users and exploring more deeply the role of the car club from the users’ perspective. Three key questions were asked: 1. What are the users’ perspectives towards existing car clubs? 2. What are their key suggestions as to how to improve the car club model? 3. What are the critical aspects of the proposed car club model, from the users’ perspective? The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, with further contextual research and expert interviews with service designers in order to evaluate the role service design might play in enticing more people to consider the use of such mobility services in the future. The ultimate aim of this research is to provide a set of mobility service guidelines designed to enhance the overall level of user experience for car clubs. Advancing the operating models of car clubs should help existing operators fulfil their role as a more adaptable and reliable alternative transport mode in urban areas. The research outcome is expected to contribute to current car club operators’ future plans and provide guidance for vehicle OEMs when developing their own mobility models in the future.
