Analysis of User Needs for the Redesign of a Postural Seat System
2009
The identification and translation of customer needs early in the design process is a major challenge for product design researchers. Some needs are explicit and customers can state them very clearly. Other needs are implicit, so customers cannot express them, e.g., those pertaining to the affective and emotional sphere. In this work, we describe the methods most commonly used to capture explicit and emotional customer needs, and the traditional ways in which they are used. Moreover, an integration of QFD and Kansei engineering, a simplification of Kano methodology, and a new attribute weighing methodology based on the “choice time” are discussed for the design of an innovative postural sea…
Progettazione emozionale statistica
2010
In questo lavoro si propone l’utilizzo di particolari metodologie statistiche nell’ambito del Kansei Engineering, con un esempio applicativo a motoveicoli di media cilindrata appartenenti al segmento delle turistiche di medio raggio. Seguendo la procedura proposta, il “prodotto moto” è stato analizzato dal punto di vista delle emozioni che esso suscita nel potenziale acquirente, all’interno del cosiddetto spazio semantico. Al contempo nello spazio delle proprietà, le specifiche di mercato sono state selezionate e raggruppate attraverso l’utilizzo di un software che stima l’importanza degli attributi o caratteristiche di prodotto. Successivamente sono state condotte delle interviste che mira…
A weighted logistic regression for conjoint analysis and Kansei engineering
2007
Customer needs for emotional satisfaction are increasingly being considered by product and service designers. While several existing methods such as conjoint analysis (CA), Kano model and quality function deployment support the translation of customer requirements into technical specifications, researchers are now working to develop methods aimed at integrating affective aspects into product design. Kansei engineering (KE) is a design philosophy that considers customer perceptions and emotions by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach. CA is a useful tool within a KE project. This article presents a methodology for conducting a KE project in early development phases. This methodology is bas…
