Abstract
The complexity of products is increasing as more and more functions and structures are included in them, leading to higher requirements on better understand of users’ behaviour in term of using the product during the early engineering design phase. Although, industry and academia agree that human aspects are important for the success of the product, there are few methods that support the designers concerning these factors in the synthesis part of the design works. This paper covers the multi-trade engineering design, and deals with the development of a behavioural design approach (BDA) to help designers to optimize the product performance in the early design phase through taking into account utilization conditions and requirements. Finally, a software application is in development to support and allow a systematic utilization of the “behavioural design approach” by integrating it into the daily work of the designer.
