Abstract
Companies striving for leadership in today’s highly competitive market-place need to take into account a number of technical, social, and environmental factors while designing a product. This paper suggests a new perspective on improving product design through utilization of feedback information from product operation and maintenance. The influence of feedback information on design is discussed, and product usage monitoring as a way of collecting the necessary data is considered. An expectation-driven approach to monitoring product functionality, usage, and operation environment is proposed to supply the designer with relevant information. A case study of an approach to practical implementation is described, and conclusions are drawn.
