A Kano-Based Evaluation Model for Extensive Innovation Procedure

Abstract

This research focus on developing approach to innovative design problems based on the TRIZ and extension method. The proposed innovative design procedure combines the Su-Field modeling procedure, extension method and Kano-based evaluation model to improve the efficiency and extent of concept evolutions. The extensibility of matter-element helps to transform the descriptions of design problems and solutions more creatively. In this research, we will introduce the Kano model to construct a psychology-based evaluation procedure. Su-field model and concept extension of matter-element have also been introduced into symbolic developments to derive out more creative solutions. This study proposes a flexible and extensible innovative design approach with the help of extension method and Kano-based evaluation model. The bicycle design examples are adopted to explain and verify feasibility of the proposed approach.
