| dc.description.abstract | Engineering design is critical to corporate success and societal progress. The economic success of most firms depends on designing products to satisfy the needs and wants of their customers. Products are usually designed with a target customer group in mind. However, what product designers need is a priori guidance on good design that is best if it can be generalized to non-product specific guidelines. Recent research has determined fifteen design attributes that can be considered of primary interest to good design, regardless what kind of the product is. Determining the different importance of these attributes is the main focus of this research. Subfactors that are hypothesized as drivers to higher order customer product needs are given. By assessing people’s opinions on the importance of design attributes and subfactors, a model which determines the relative importance of design attributes in contributing to good design is developed to provide non-product specific guidance. | en_US |
