The movements to personalized products and up-to-date technology speed up the time of products become obsolete (partially obsolete) before the end of their life. Thus, the capability to design product more flexible is the key competitive factor leads to secure product cost and extend the product life time. In this paper, the (re)design methodology that leans on Axiomatic design and TRIZ has been developed and implemented to enhance flexibility of a product meeting customer’s requirements and support future change. The paper shows, through a case study, how the flexible are created for specific industrial product: electric towing vehicle.
