Resumen
The analysis of product design process shows problems that result in inadequate user design proposals: Industries are reluctant to use methods and techniques in the conceptual design; designers use their own strategies for problem solving; and there is little integration between different disciplines involved in the project. Additionally, there is a breakdown between the product requirements that meet user needs and the development and manufacturing requirements in the conceptual design phase. A strategy to reach synergy in the design teams is required. This strategy must integrate all stakeholders from the beginning of the project to consider the posterior conditions of the development, manufacturing and marketing of the product. This article proposes a strategy of product design with multidisciplinary teams. It is based on Axiomatic Design, which promotes integration of the needs of the user, requirements of product, engineering design and manufacturing process. The proposed strategy provides a continuous view of the design process to the industry, a design methodology respecting creative thinking and an integration of all disciplines throughout the process.
