Innovative Evolution Process Model of Product Platform Based on Evolutionary Design

Abstract:

In order to grasp the direction of product upgrading and promote the innovation capability of enterprise, a model of innovative evolution process for Product Platform is proposed based on Evolutionary Design. The model consists of five parts. The product platform module genes expression is an important part of this model, the acquisition and operation of genes was highlighted during its evolution process. Finally, a sample was given expressing the method as mentioned before.
