“…As a mathematical tool for information processing, it has more advantages than other modeling tools such as Petri nets and unified modeling language (UML) [13], [15] . In addition, this theory is also widely used in the reverse design for remanufacturing (RDfRem) method [16], unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) route planning application [17], product information model construction [18], the design improvement of the electric multiple unit (EMU) bogie system [19], and many other fields. Therefore, an increasing amount of attention is being paid to the modeling of complex engineering systems using the polychromatic sets theory and the research on the system innovative design.…”

Frequent processes of mutual transfer and transformation generally take place between the material flow, the energy flow, and the information flow in complex engineering systems, and complex coupling relationships exist between the different flows. Abnormal coupling of flows will cause flow problems, which can easily lead to the failure of the system functions. To address these problems, in this study, the starting point has been taken as the change in the attributes and types of the study flow, the attributes of the flows have been categorized, and a flow transfer and transformation model, oriented to the flow problem analysis has been proposed. Secondly, based on the analysis of the effect of the attribute changes of flows in complex engineering systems on the generation of flow problems, an innovatively introduced information processing mathematical tool, the polychromatic sets theory, has been used to explore and determine the flow problems existing in complex engineering systems. Further, depending on the different manifestations of flow problems, three solution strategies have been proposed. Finally, the process model of the flow problem judgment and a solution strategy for complex engineering systems has been constructed. The feasibility of the process model has been verified by considering the engineering case of the tubular feeding machine (TFM) system of a large-scale integrated marine resource survey ship.INDEX TERMS Complex engineering system, polychromatic sets, flow problem judgment, solving strategy, tubular feeding machine (TFM) system.

“…In disassembly practice, different disassembly modes are generally selected depending on the severity of the failure and the recycling modes. 23 By analyzing the transfer relationship between the structures of EOL electromechanical products and the disassembly methods, a polychromatic mapping model of EOL electromechanical product disassembly methods is constructed, which is shown in Figure 4. It describes the mapping transfer relationship of EOL electromechanical products' failure modes, failure degrees, recycling modes, and disassembly methods, and its definition is as follows:…”

The design of automatic disassembly equipment for small end-of-life (EOL) electromechanical products is difficult and time-consuming. To deal with these problems, a novel automatic disassembly equipment design method for small EOL electromechanical products based on axiomatic design and modular design is presented. To realize the mapping from disassembly knowledge to the functional requirements of automatic disassembly equipment, a transfer mapping model from the structure to disassembly methods of small EOL electromechanical products is constructed based on polychromatic sets, which are regarded as the key information of the customer domain. Furthermore, a multi-domain mapping model of the automatic disassembly equipment is constructed through axiomatic design, and the mapping from the customer domain to the functional domain and then to the structure domain in the design process of automatic disassembly equipment is gradually realized. Based on the information in the structure domain, the related modules of the automatic disassembly equipment are divided and designed. Finally, taking a power strip and a set-top box as the experimental objects, the proposed method is applied to the design of automatic disassembly equipment. The results prove that the proposed method improves the design efficiency of automatic disassembly equipment and has strong universality.

“…After a period of marketing, existing products often need to be redesigned owing to internal and external influences, such as technology advancing and continuous evolution of CRs (Smith et al , 2012; Zhu et al , 2017; Li et al ., 2021 b ). Driven by the motivation of functional obsolescence and changes of CRs, many objectives have been considered in product redesign, such as improving materials and structures for remanufacturing (Shin et al , 2015; Paras et al , 2018; Zhang et al , 2021), seeking product innovations (Smith et al , 2012; Dong et al , 2021; Wang, 2021), reducing costs (Janz et al , 2005; Lee et al , 2011; Zhang et al ., 2019 b ), and reducing the environmental impacts (Bovea and Wang, 2007; Borchardt et al , 2011; Yang et al , 2011). However, final redesigned products based on these methods are not sufficiently competitive in marketplace, as customer requirements cannot be clearly identified and satisfied (Yan et al , 2002; Mukhopadhyay and Ameri, 2016), that is, critical DPs of these products cannot be well identified and improved for achieving customer requirements sufficiently and effectively (Jiang et al , 2019).…”

Redesign is a widespread strategy for product improvement whose essence is the optimization of design parameters (DPs) considering the trade-off between customer satisfaction and cost concerns. Similar to the relation between customer requirements (CRs) and customer satisfaction, the sensitivity of customer satisfaction is diverse to different DPs. In this study, a sensitivity-enhanced customer satisfaction function is defined for redesign model construction. This fills the research gap in product redesign that lacking of consideration and quantification of customer satisfaction sensitivity. First, a sensitivity index is defined based on Kano indices for analyzing sensitivity of customer satisfaction in different DP categories. Second, traditional customer satisfaction function has been improved by injecting the sensitivity of customer satisfaction to the variations of DPs. Subsequently, a DP optimization model is established to maximize shared surplus between customers and enterprise. Finally, a case study involving the redesign of a braking system of automobile is implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed approach. The results show that the improved customer satisfaction function can reflect a more nuanced relationship between customer satisfaction and fulfilment level of DPs. Additionally, the proposed redesign model helps designers determine the target values of DPs under a better trade-off and enhances enterprise competitiveness.
