Abstract

Beside the common form of knowledge as explicit representable information
(“knowing that”), theory or model implicit knowledge (“knowing how”)
and human senses (“knowing how it is”) are an additional source of information.
These additional sources represent an exploitable potential for product
development. Thus, the human factor can contribute to an optimization in the
design and product development process. This paper demonstrates through
selective examples how a methodical utilization of subjective perception and
experience as well as human senses can increase the quality of product developments.
