Conceptual model for the design of product systems
Modelo conceptual para el diseño de sistemas de productos
Keywords:
Product systems, differentiation, variability, systemic design, customization (en)Sistemas de productos, diferenciación, variabilidad, diseño sistémico, personalización (es)
Based on the concepts of personalization, differentiation and variability, product systems are characterized and the conditions for their design are explored. In the analysis of literature,17 variables related to the design of product systems were identified, and used to develop a conceptual model. In order to validate this finding, a survey was applied to 57 experts in the field of design. By means of a factor analysis, variables are reduced and the underlying conceptual relationships are identified. As a result of the validation, three factors are identified: structure, coherence and order, which contain the variables that determine the attributes of the product systems. These findings support the conclusion that the origin of the design process of these systems is based on the analysis of consumers and the multiple uses given and experiences obtained from these products. Study boundaries are established and future research possibilities are outlined.
A partir del estudio de los conceptos de personalización, diferenciación y variabilidad, se caracterizaron a los sistemas de productos y se exploran las condiciones requeridas para su diseño. En el análisis de la literatura se identificaron 17 variables relacionadas con el diseño de estos sistemas y se utilizaron para elaborar un modelo conceptual. Para validar este hallazgo se aplicó una encuesta a 57 expertos en el área del diseño. Mediante el análisis factorial se reducen las variables y se identifican las relaciones conceptuales subyacentes. Como resultado de la validación, se identifican tres factores: estructura, coherencia y orden, los cuales contienen las variables que determinan los atributos de los sistemas de productos. Los hallazgos permiten afirmar que el origen de proceso de diseño de estos sistemas se basa en el análisis de los consumidores y los múltiples usos y experiencias que estos realizan con los productos. Se establecen los límites del estudio y se delinean futuras investigaciones.
