Abstract: In the early stages of the product design, multiple principle solutions are obtained through function solving, and a large number of conceptual schemes are generated by combination. Therefore, scheme decisions are important ...

Abstract: Concept evaluation is the core stage of new product development and has a significant impact on the downstream process of product development. Because of the uncertainty and ambiguity of early design information, the concept ...

Abstract: Abstract. Design concept evaluation (DCE) is a crucial stage in new product development, significantly influencing downstream design and manufacturing processes. However, the subjectivity, heterogeneity, and potential ...
