Framework for consumer-integrated optimal product design / Beverly V. Smith in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 18 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 18 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 8566–8574 Titre : Framework for consumer-integrated optimal product design Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beverly V. Smith, Auteur ; Marianthi Ierapepritou, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 8566–8574 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Comprehensive  framework  Multiobjective  optimization  approach Résumé : The need for rapid product design, resulting from time to market pressure, is accompanied by an increasing demand for product differentiation. In order to meet these demands, firms are seeking more efficient ways to integrate consumer’s input into the product design process. Furthermore, appropriate integration of consumer influence yields the tangible benefit of increased probability of product acceptance in the marketplace. The objective of this paper is to introduce a comprehensive framework that integrates consumer’s influence into the design space using a multiobjective optimization approach. We formulate the problem as a biobjective mixed-integer problem, for which the compromised solution is represented as a set of efficient points. A case study involving optimal design of an under eye cream product was used to illustrate the application of the framework.

Sensitivity-based product portfolio and design integration / Beverly V. Smith in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 50 N° 7 (Avril 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 50 N° 7 (Avril 2011) . - pp. 3919–3927 Titre : Sensitivity-based product portfolio and design integration Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beverly V. Smith, Auteur ; Marianthi G. Ierapetritou, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 3919–3927 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : chemical  products Résumé : In this study we present a novel integration between product portfolio management evaluation criteria and product design decisions involving the design of chemical-based configured consumer products. We consider the variance contribution made by the product’s quality characteristics to the product’s economic performance that is measured via its net present value (NPV). The sensitivity-based time-constrained selection problem (STCSP) is modeled as a static deterministic problem, solved with the objective of mean cost minimization. The STCSP model utilizes a hybrid approach involving the application of Monte Carlo simulation, heuristics, and algorithmic processing to optimize the product design planning process. In this approach product design activities dependencies are modeled as linear inequality constraints. An industry-based case is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
