Abstract
In order to obtain maximally innovative and successful product designs, the utilization of optimization strategies at the product design planning stage is of prime importance, and the methods proposed in this paper enable multiobjective optimization technologies to be effectively applied. The necessity and effectiveness of utilizing optimization techniques at the product design planning stage are first explained, and the features that this requires are then clarified. Optimization solutions provided at the product design planning stage, while far from final, can nevertheless be used to obtain guidelines for more preferable product designs. For this purpose, even if characteristics evaluated at the product design planning stages are simplified and/or idealized, the interrelationships among all related characteristics should be simultaneously and thoroughly explored. The successful application of optimization techniques at the product design planning stage requires the rapid presentation and evaluation of a variety of alternative designs, a deeper understanding of the reasons for the optimized designs that are developed, and breakthrough of the initial optimized design solutions, so that the most effective design can ultimately be implemented in a manufactured product. This paper proposes multiobjective design optimization methodologies and procedures, utilized at the product design planning stage, to achieve these goals.
