TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATION
OF PRODUCT EVOLUTIONARY
DESIGN BASED ON CONFIGURATION IN MASS CUSTOMIZATION MODE*
Abstract: Product customization
has been recognized as an effective means to implement mass
customization (MC). A new theory and method for MC-oriented
evolutionary design of configuration product is presented based
on the study of developing law of evolutionary design in
integrated environment, which focuses on the innovation and
reuse properties of configuration product. The key technologies
for general requirement modeling in quick response to customer
requirement, multi-level stepwise configuration optimization
driven by customer requirement and evolutionary deduction of
product variable structure based on configuration association
are thoroughly investigated. The successful application of the
presented method in the development of real-life products
demonstrates its utility, flexibility and robusticity.
