Implementation matrix of function and functionality in product development process

This paper presents a short overview of Matrix of Function and Functionality (MFF), which helps designer in early phases of product development. Matrix is presented as a tool inside conceptual phase, where details of a product are not known or are sporadically presented. Matrix is based on mathematical rules and brings into relation functions and functionalities. By means of sub- matrix structures, MFF solves the defined product requirements. MFF also stores design knowledge that provides better understanding of the design process. In addition, the design of modular systems by the developed model of modularity with regard to function and shape is presented.
