Title: A Systematic-Innovation Design Approach for Green Product
Abstract: Without creativity in design there is no potential for innovation. However, both Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Theory of Solving Inventive Problems (TRIZ) techniques have their own advantages and drawbacks. This paper presents a systematic-innovation design method for green product based on the QFD approach and TRIZ tools. Despite the recognized importance of conceptual design, there is a lack of a systematic and effective innovation creating process for green product. To address this gap, a useful and powerful design method of systematic innovation is created for green product, depending on the capability of QFD detailed problem analysis and the prowess of TRIZ innovative idea generation. The proposed design method was developed with QFD-I and an eco-contradiction matrix identifying the contradiction between customer needs and eco-efficiency elements for deriving TRIZ invention principles. The eco-innovative product could be created depended on these specific solutions. A case study of a innovative camping light design was demonstrated for the applicability of this method and the results validated the feasibility and effectiveness.
