Product Concept and System Architecture Generation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Product and Service Design Innovation

Abstract

The conceptual activity of developing a product is the most important phase of the system design process, since it is through it that it is possible to materialize the satisfaction of a need or to solve a problem (Blanchard and Fabrycky in Systems Engineering and Analysis. Prentice Hall, 2006; Cross 2001a; Pahl and Beitz in Engineering Design. A systematic approach. Springer, 1996; Ulrich and Eppinger in Product design and development. McGraw Hill, 2008; Ullman in The mechanical design process. McGraw Hill, 1997; Roosenburg and Eeckels in Product design: fundamentals and methods. John Wiley, 1996).

Product architecture is the basic way of thinking of engineers,

when they design functions and structures of a new product.
