Abstract
This chapter presents two methodologies, Selection-Integrated Optimization (SIO) and Comprehensive Product Platform Planning (CP3), which convert the inherently combinatorial product family optimization problem into continuous optimization problems. These conversions enable one-step product family optimization without presuming the choice of platform and scaling design variables. Such approaches also enable taking full advantage of continuous optimization methods.
