Abstract

Experience-based design is a recently emerging method used to capture the emotional content of customer experiences. Both the engineer’s experiences and customer’s experiences for dual experiences are important in delivering high quality user-centred product design. To assess dual experiential design optimization, fuzzy decision tree and fuzzy cognitive map are integrated in engineering design perspectives. This study aims at optimizing complex interactions and experiential design system with imprecise relationships while quantifying the performance impact of engineering design efficiency on customer satisfaction. The experiment is conducted by utilizing sensitivity analysis of the three degrees of fuzzy membership function using a product mix-experience problem. The evaluation results show that this dual experience-based design approach can help R&D design, deliver high quality product development experiences and co-create value with customers to yield a high performance engineering design.
