Abstract

In order to improve product development, enterprises need to strengthen product lifecycle management (PLM) and collaborative design capability. For the description of product design we have proposed a four-level structural classification scheme, which includes Design Intentions, Design Requirements, Design Parameters and TRIZ Engineering Parameters. This study is based on the classification scheme, and introduces the concept of Design for X (DFX) and then discusses the design principles from four different perspectives including manufacturing aspect, customer aspect, maintenance aspect and environmental aspect. We deliberate the meaning of these aspects and further establish their relevance with the TRIZ 48 engineering parameters. An electric scooter design is presented to illustrate the application.
