Abstract

Considering the problem that current configuration design method is mainly faced for professionals, based-on the analysis of different customers’ respective understanding of products and configuration methods, a function-structure configuration method of mass customization product is proposed according to the general design process from function to structure. Meanwhile, in the configuration real-time related analyses and advices are provided customers, which would guide customers to complete configuration design of personal product rapidly. Finally, a wheel lock configuration case is given to illustrate the proposed method.
