Case Study on Design Method for Customized Products

Abstract:

The individual needs of customers as well as the wide variety of environments and scenarios in which the products are used, have influences on product structure and configuration as well as in their design. These influences increase the degree of product customization especially for highly complex products with precise destination, unique or manufactured in very small series. This paper presents a case study on a cabin of an electric power generation turbine in order to identify the actions taken, tools used by the designers in the design process, co-design aspect of the product and the possibility to develop a method for customized products design.
