Abstract

The improvement in design efficiency is highly demanded in recent product development. Set-Based Design method in Lean Product Development is known to be one of the effective methods that improve development efficiency. With this method, we can evaluate multiple design candidates and narrow them down as the development progresses. It enables us to save time, reduce costs and utilize the knowledge accumulation during the development process. With the aim of applying Set-Based Design method to the design process of air conditioner outdoor units, we have developed the practical strength evaluation tool using 1D CAE that supports developers for narrowing their solution space. This paper introduces the tool and some application of it.
