Case Study Regarding Functional Design Based on Knowledge Databases Achievements

Article Preview

Abstract:

When dealing with a specific development issue, designers have at their disposal a wide range of skills and their implicit knowledge, enabling them to conceptualize the appropriate solution pertaining to the problem. In developing and applying these solutions, the efficiency of the designers is often dependent on their appropriate use of analysis and creativity skills, their experience, as well as the existing knowledge stored in the company or other accessible databases. This paper presents a case study on a containers transport mechanism in order to highlight the activities, used tools and the advantages considered for the functional design based on functional-constructive knowledge stored in databases as a main phase of a new advanced product design process.
