Platform Configuration Method of the Wheel Loader Products Based on the Customers’ Demands

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a kind of the platform configuration method of the wheel loader products based on the customers’ demands. This method first analyzes the customers’ demands for the wheel loaders and divides it into two major categories of the binding demand and selective demand, then performs the optional configuration for the modular product platform based on the customers’ binding demand, the similar matrix of the platform configuration of the wheel loaders is established and the similarity between the customers’ demand set and the product platforms is calculated to carry out the optimized configuration for the product platforms, finally an example of the product platform configuration of the wheel loaders is given.
