A design reuse system

Abstract

Successful past design is the largest accumulation of expertise in the entire manufacturing sector and effective exploitation needs to structure this store of information. This paper shows that the design model under which this information is going to be used greatly influences the structuring process. Within design function deployment past designs should be structured as (a) a product concept, (b) a solution concept, (c) an embodiment design and (d) a detailed design, for efficient reuse. Illustrative examples are provided to explain their reuse. The methods for representing the structured information are also described.

A framework to integrate design knowledge reuse and requirements management in engineering design

“…Design ruse approaches to that are based on a design methodology (Shahin et al, 1999) (Blessing 1995) structure the elements of the system around the conceptual framework specified by the design methodology (typically systematic design). Methodology based approaches are best suited to fundamental design problems, where existing solutions are not available: variant design could apply a more structured and specific method to reuse previous solutions.…”

Design reuse: An overview

“…Shahin et al [27] proposed to structure a systematic method that encompasses each stage of the design process. They identified that designs for reuse needed to be stored and retrieved either partially or wholly and, as such, the design reuse system must be integrated within a complete systematic design process.…”

Model Design Reuse Method Based on Fuzzy Theory

“…Design methodology has a certain guiding significance for the idea of design reuse, and some design methodology itself can be used as a reuse method. [3][4] Wu Shoufei introduced the concepts of family, standardization and serialization into the design reuse process through the research on the reuse strategy under the mass customization environment to meet the purpose of design diversification. [5][6] Based on the above problems, this paper proposes a function-driven design reuse method to reuse existing design information from existing model instances in the current market.…”
