Influence of Functional Knowledge Structuring for Modular Design

Abstract:

This paper focuses on analyzing design methods on product modularity. Through an experimental case, the paper shows that design knowledge is of vital importance to conduct modular design. Modular design is consequence of combining different types of uncertain structured functional knowledge. The paper shows that it is not only the functional knowledge structure that drives the modular design, but also the ability of the designer to gain new functional knowledge, and dynamically, what designer does with that functional knowledge.
