A Conceptual Design Methodology for Variety Using TRIZ and QFD

A method to select a key HOQ of QFD from the existed HOQs for variety of design is introduced first. Evolution of technique (ET) is used to find exciting requirements for the product to be designed and VOC driven by ET is formed. A new conceptual design model is illustrated, which integrate VOC driven by ET, QFD, inventive principles and separation principles of TRIZ. A design example is carried out using the model.Copyright © 2002 by ASME
