“…According to the previous studies (Ma et al , 2008; Guo and Zeng, 2010; Bian and Guo, 2013; Hu et al , 2013; Ren et al , 2013) and Figure 1, it can be seen that customer demands are the original input of complex products design, product structures are the object and output of complex products design, design agents are the core of complex products design, design tasks are necessary activities for collaborative and design resources are the guarantee of complex products design. Therefore, we can judge that the customer demands, product structures, design agents, design tasks and design resources are the design elements of complex products design.…”

Purpose Because of the multiple design elements and complicated relationship among design elements of complex products design, it is tough for designers to systematically and dynamically express and manage the complex products design process. Design/methodology/approach To solve these problems, a supernetwork model of complex products design is constructed and analyzed in this paper. First, the design elements (customer demands, design agents, product structures, design tasks and design resources) are identified and analyzed, then the sub-network of design elements are built. Based on this, a supernetwork model of complex products design is constructed with the analysis of the relationship among sub-networks. Second, some typical and physical characteristics (robustness, vulnerability, degree and betweenness) of the supernetwork were calculated to analyze the performance of supernetwork and the features of complex product design process. Findings The design process of a wind turbine is studied as a case to illustrate the approach in this paper. The supernetwork can provide more information about collaborative design process of wind turbine than traditional models. Moreover, it can help managers and designers to manage the collaborative design process and improve collaborative design efficiency of wind turbine. Originality/value The authors find a new method (complex network or supernetwork) to describe and analyze complex mechanical product design.
