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.
