Abstract

Recently, companies have been able to gather product usage data during middle of life (MOL) owing to newly developed technologies such as RFID, various sensors, wireless telecommunication, and so on. Even though the technological infrastructure for gathering product usage data is established, the application of newly gathered product usage data is still in its infancy. If MOL data can be transformed into suitable information and knowledge for product design improvement with appropriate methods, it will be fruitful. To this end, in this study, we propose a design improvement method based on product usage data which are gathered by product embedded information device (PEID) in a closed-loop PLM.

Design

A design is a concept of either an object, a process, or a system that is specific and, in most cases, detailed. Design refers to something that is or has been intentionally created by a thinking agent, though it is sometimes used to refer to the nature of something. The verb to design expresses the process of developing a design. In some cases, the direct construction of an object without an explicit prior plan may also be considered to be a design (such as in some artwork and craftwork).

Big data

Big data primarily refers to data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. Data with many entries (rows) offer greater statistical power, while data with higher complexity (more attributes or columns) may lead to a higher false discovery rate. Though used sometimes loosely partly because of a lack of formal definition, the interpretation that seems to best describe big data is the one associated with a large body of information that we could not comprehend when used only in smaller amounts.

Empathic design

Empathic design is a user-centered design approach that pays attention to the user's feelings toward a product. The empathic design process is sometimes mistakenly referred to as empathetic design. The foundation of empathic design is observation and the goal to identify latent customer needs in order to create products that the customers don't even know they desire, or, in some cases, solutions that customers have difficulty envisioning due to lack of familiarity with the possibilities offered by new technologies or because they are locked in a specific mindset.
