碩士 === 元智大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 83 === Design process plays an important role in product design. It directly affects the performance, quality, cost, and product development time. However, design activity is complex and uncertain in nature. Researchers have been trying to develop systematic design methodology and tools to help designers in the design process. This paper presents a computer system which integrates a design process module, a design database and a design management module. The design database stores design document and past experience of similar designs, while the design process module systematically leads the designer through specification development, system decomposition, and design concept evaluation. Finally, a calculator case design example is presented to illustrate this system.
