Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
As complexity of products increased, management of product design becomes difficult. For better management of product design, a method for the determination of design policy based on extended quality function deployment (QFD) was proposed. To realize computer-aided support for designers to determine design policy, the method makes use of a product model that can be retrieved from the extended quality function deployment table. In this paper, the proposed method was applied to two solar-boats whose design philosophies are different. One is to be designed for sprint race while the other is for endurance race. Comparison of the suggested design policies is discussed whether the difference properly captures change of design policies. As a result, it is verified that proposed method can satisfactory suggest design policies.
