Consumer preference for product innovation/functionality has become increasingly diverse, therefore firms produce products with distinct versions/generations to satisfy consumers. This paper investigates the decision-making problem for multiple competitive firms considering consumers' diversified preferences for product functionality. This paper develops an optimization model, in which the profit-maximizing firms need to determine the production quantities of their products with different versions. Due to our model's computational complexity, it motivates us to adopt variational inequalities theory, which is applied to convert an original model into a new variational inequality problem. On this basis, the existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium solution are proved, and a high-efficient Euler algorithm is proposed. A case study focused on the 5G smartphone market is conducted. Numerical results show that firms may obtain more profits by producing products with newer versions if the consumer preference for product functionality is high. However, if the preference level of consumer is under a certain level, it is not necessarily beneficial for firms who launch new versions of their products to the demand market. In addition, when the competition in market becomes intensive (due to new entrants), giving up the production of previous-version products may be more conducive to existing firms.

“…First, the designer-customer-artifact co-evolution builds the relationships between the design participators and objects. Product innovation involves the creation of new concepts in product design and manufacturing to satisfy market and customer needs; one of the key drivers of product innovation is the reactions of the product to users' needs [36]. Innovative design is customer-centered, and customers are involved in product design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes.…”

A 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.

“…Axiomatic Design Theory (ADT) right after being developed and introduced by Professor Nam Pyo Suh in 2001 [18] has been widely applied [19]. Also, in 2001, Lee et al from the USA successfully applied the ADT to develop a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) in industrial scale.…”

In this study, an experimental investigation of the development of a thermoforming apparatus and the thickness uniformity of its samples was performed based on the axiomatic design theory in conjunction with the Taguchi method. Thermoforming is a powerful tool for both consumer product needs and packaging industry. Such traditional technology has been investigated in many aspects for a long time ago. However, there are still needs for the development and characterization of thermoforming devices aiming at shorter construction time and less cost involved. Therefore, an experimental analysis was performed to systematically realize all the functional structures of the device using axiomatic design theory. The combination of orthogonal array (OA) and analysis of variance revealed the influences of the relatival processing factors, showing that the thickness of the plastic sheet and areal draw ratio had crucial roles to play. Furthermore, an optimization process using the Taguchi method was utilized to determine all accurate and optimum processing parameters. The outcomes obviously verified that the present combination method can overcome the current development and optimization method’s limitation and also conclusively give accurate optimal outcomes without using complicated algorithms and software solutions. Therefore, it promises a simple and powerful tool for engineers on-site in medium or small scale manufactories.
