Function Module Dynamic Partition for Product Innovation Design

Abstract

The reasonable functional modules partition is crucial to technical solution of function in product innovation design. Technical evolution factors are not considered in current product module partition method. The correlation of customer demand and product function unit, function unit flow correlation and function technology correlation are synthesized for function module partition in product innovation design. Based on function base expression, function chain and function structure is established to provide basis of function correlation analysis. Function correlation matrix is established by combining the correlation matrix of customer demand and product function unit, the function unit flow correlation matrix and function technology correlation matrix. The dynamic cluster analysis of fuzzy equivalence matrix is used to form function module. The function module partitions are evaluated by polymerization degree and coupling degree. The presented dynamic module partition method has strong distinguishing ability.

Modularized design of coal-mine paste filling station based on fuzzy theory

“…Liang and Chen (2015) made a study of the module knowledge presentation and reusing technology, and put forward a method to improve extension distance module searching through seeking out module example with similarity. Based on function structure, Chen et al (2013) established the function correlation matrix, and used the dynamic cluster analysis of fuzzy equivalence matrix to build dynamic parting function module.…”

Creative Thinking in Product Innovative Design: A Handcuff Case Study

“…Therefore, the study of scheme design has aroused the attention of many scholars, and a series of research has been made. The current research mainly focused on design method, knowledge representation and modeling and developing auxiliary tools [1][2][3]. Innovative design emphases the function of the designer's creativity in the scheme design of a competitive new product.…”
