Application of Concurrent Design Strategy in Toaster Design

This article uses a concurrent design method for the design of the toaster. Search for existing products, safety regulations for analysis, and then determine the functional items of the toaster through Objectives tree and Functional Analysis, and design specifications. The form of the toaster is thought to be created by Morphological Analysis. After selecting the elements of the Objectives tree and using Analytical Hierarchy Process to calculate the evaluation weight, Pugh selects the better design. Finally, the color scheme is used to per-form the final color matching step, and the aesthetic degree is calculated to evaluate the color scheme. We apply CAD technology to integrate the concurrent design process to shorten development time and achieve complete commoditization results.
