To study product properties of digital spaces, we strongly need to formulate meaningful adjacency relations on digital products. Thus the paper [7] firstly developed a normal adjacency relation on a digital product which can play an important role in studying the multiplicative property of a digital fundamental group, and product properties of digital coverings and digitally continuous maps. The present paper mainly surveys the normal adjacency relation on a digital product, improves the assertion of Boxer and Karaca in the paper [4] and restates Theorem 6.4 of the paper [19].

A designer is mainly supported by two essential factors in design decisions. These two factors are intelligence and experience aiding the designer by predicting the interconnection between the required design parameters. Through classification of product data and similarity recognition between new and existing designs, it is partially possible to replace the required experience for an inexperienced designer. Given this context, the current paper addresses a framework for recognition and flexible retrieval of similar models in product design. The idea is to establish an infrastructure for transferring design as well as the required PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) know-how to the design phase of product development in order to reduce the design time. Furthermore, such a method can be applied as a brainstorming method for a new and creative product development as well. The proposed framework has been tested and benchmarked while showing promising results.

When we design a product, we need to consider human sensibility for the product. In this study, we developed a technique to measure human sensibility for a product. Because human sensibility for a product is very subjective and fuzzy, it is hard to measure easily. To deal with this difficulty effectively, we used fuzzy-weighted checklist to this problem. The fuzzy- weighted checklist presents a fuzzy version of the weighted checklist technique computerized for evaluating or comparing complex system (or subjects). In this technique, we used pairwise comparison to get the relative weights of wensibility factors. Also, we used linguistic ratings to get the scores of sensibility factors for a product. Then, we synthesize the scores of sensi- bility factors to get fuzzy composite score (and linguistic approximation). If there are several alternatives, we can conduct alternative comparison. Finally, we wrote the program of this technique by Quick Basic software. As an example, this technique applied to car. The results show that we can use this technique effectively to the quantitative evaluation of human sensibility

This study attempted to understand post-purchase consumer return experiences which had not received much attention in consumer behavior research. As a first step to understand return experiences from consumers' viewpoint, the study took an exploratory approach and identified themes and patterns from subjective consumer experiences. Whenever possible, attribution theory was applied to interpret the identified patterns. A total of 99 cases were collected from an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed based on a qualitative method. The reasons of product return was classified into five groups: changing mind; product defects; unsuitable products; products not expected; and for a better deal. External attribution was observed for return decisions caused by consumers' changed mind as well as by product defects. Dissatisfaction with defected products seemed to be intensified or reduced by service failure or success in the post-purchase service encounter. Consumer expectation and situations seemed to affect this process. Overall, the study supported attribution theory in the post-purchase return experience, and insights for research questions were proposed.

The terminology such as ecology, environment problems, ecosystems, ecofactory, and others related to environmental problems have been recently used in manufacturing systems, since the modern industries have to consider a global ecological crisis. The indifference of recent environmental problems which may be faced now has been paid attention to all engineering areas. In this paper, manufacturing functional requirements such as disassembly, disposal, disposal, or recycling are considered in the integrated product design development, which have not been considered well in the preliminary design stage. Those functions will contribute to reduce the waste and to long the product life cycle, which also satisfies the business benefits and customer requirements. The concurrent design concepts should be applied to integrate all possible factors. Therefore, few practical concurrent engineering tools are presented in here. The objective of this paper is to develop a called green manufacturing systems for integrated product design development by concurrent design concept which can give the desirable result in product design.

In this study, an overall product design process will be presented by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) and robust design. From the conceptual design stage, the logical methods are used to select the appropriate concepts satisfying the customer requirements and the other conditions. The next phase is the embodiment design phase in which the deterministic and robust design approach are used to obtain the improvement in product design. Typically, this approach is applied for developing the simple bookshelf design. The results show the efficient approach which can be supported to develop the new product.

This paper describes the implementation process of Virtual Modeling system for a customer-oriented product. The human sense is measured and analyzed by physical design factors and can be applied also for the product design. The first step implementing virtual modeling is to make a human sensibility("Kansei") database. Human sensibility database is constructed with the relational data of Kansei words and design factors. The next step is extraction the design information from the human sensibility database by fuzzy inference algorithm. This design information is used for the input data for the graphic database. Virtual implementation software compounds 3D shape of product. The final product can be modified according to the customer's requirement.quirement.

The purpose of this study was designed to investigate if self-monitoring variable among various individual trait theories and demographic variable would be variables which can explain about the importance differences of consumer service level of retailing in the garment product. The survey was conducted from Feb, 6 to 16, 2002. For this survey, the 118 data were analysed with spss window 9.0 version and Cronbach's, Factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, Duncan test, Frequency, mean, percentage were applied. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Consumer service was classified in attitude/confidence/expert knowledge of salesperson, product display, product information, product assortment, shopping environment, lighting setup. 2. As a result of analyzing the importance differences per consumer service dimension depending on self-monitoring levels, it was not significant differences. 3. As a result of analyzing the importance differences per consumer service dimension depending on demographic variables, it was not significant differences.

Concurrent Engineering(CE) can provide a competitive edge for companies that have confronted with rapidly changing market requirements, such as shortening of product life cycles, high quality, low cost, diversity of customer demand, and so on. We construct a prototype of integrated information system to support a new product development process by CE concept. This integrated information system can be useful for considering concurrently all of the aspect in the product design process. In this system, an Engineering Database is constructed for gathering data of four departments; i.e. marketing, production, quality control and design department. Also DFM(Design For Manufacturability) is applied for analysis of product design.

The communication between members who participate in the product development project has an effect on the project time, cost, and quality. This reason requires the engineering database which is the kernel of product information. This study focuses on data and process modeling for engineering database related to electronic consumer product. First, Through the definition of engineering database, the characteristics of engineering data, mainly product data are analyzed. Second, The object and class for engineering database are defined. This results of the study can be applied with engineering database design and workflow design of PDM. It also can be used as a reference model when the company develops product with suppliers.
