“…To structure the information for the construction of the knowledge base, an analysis framework is defined based on three axes: design stages, actors involved, and organizational context. These axes of analysis are selected considering that the focus of the research corresponds to the design process of chemical products, which is represented through the design stages, and the organizational context, which is represented with the involved actors and the business strategy of the company [13,22]. In a possible future expansion of the database, it is possible to include more dimensions, i.e., innovative capacity, long-term goals of the company, among others.…”

“…The elements of the design process correspond to the design stages mentioned by the experts. As presented by [22], information from the design process described by each expert is organized in a matrix with the categories shown in Table 3. For the framework definition, all the "design stages" of the ten product design processes were used to establish the elements of the axis design process.…”

“…Considering the above, this article analyzes the organizational dimension of the design process of several companies of formulated chemical products and uses this information for the construction of a knowledge base. For this, the chemical product design process is understood as a temporal decision-making system that appears when a company decides to initiate a product development project [22]. In such a system, actors exchange elements such as knowledge, information, energy, materials, value, and other resources [23].…”

The design of new consumer chemical products is a complex task at different levels. In addition to the technical challenges of the formulation, design teams should also consider the requirements of the organization where the design is performed. The objective of this article is to present a knowledge base to support decision-making for the design of formulated products, considering the organizational dimension. For this, data were collected during ten semi-structured in-depth interviews with industrial experts who are also decisional actors in the design process. From the collected data, design recommendations were identified and analyzed. These recommendations are statements which can be used by organizations to evaluate, understand, improve, or create their own design methodologies considering their context and resources. Subsequently, the extracted recommendations were analyzed according to three types of criteria: the stages of the design process, the involved actors, and the organizational context. As a result, a knowledge base containing systematically organized recommendations that have led to the development of successful products is presented. Finally, the multiple uses of the knowledge base are shown with theoretical examples and the knowledge base is applied to analyze the design process of a real organization: in a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in the cosmetic sector.
