Abstract
Abstract A concise and quantified specification is essential to developing suitable product concepts. This article describes an integrated set of structured methods for identifying the customer population for the product and developing a representation of feature demands. The structured methods include design task probing, customer needs analysis, functional decomposition, and competitive benchmarking for directly mapping customer statements to functional requirements.

Design for Assembly Techniques in Reverse Engineering and Redesign
51 Citations1996Douglas D. Lefever, Kristin L. Wood
Three straightforward evolutions, aimed at reducing the number of components in an assembly during redesign, are presented, integrated within a reverse engineering and redesign methodology and applied to a industrial design application, i.e., redesign of an auxiliary automobile visor.
