“Inside & Outside”-Design Method for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Abstract:

In this paper we proposed an "Inside & Outside" design method which is suitable for small and medium–sized enterprises to solve the problems that small and medium–sized enterprises usually meet with non-design and tough design. The meaning as well as the principles of this method was explained in detail, meanwhile the process to find out the production opportunities in a short time for small and medium–sized enterprises with the provided method was discussed. Finally, a case study on the improvement of a specific product was analyzed so as to be an illustrated-example.
