Robust Product Architecture Development Combining Matrix-Based Approaches and Function-Based Failure Propagation Method – M-FBFP Framework

This paper proposes an M-FBFP framework with the objective to help designers tackle the problem of risk emerging from product architecture and the effects of uncertain operating conditions. The proposed framework combines matrix approaches (QFD and MDM) and the FBFP method. The QFD is an integrated set of tools for recording user requirements, engineering characteristics that satisfy these requirements, and any tradeoffs that might be necessary between the engineering characteristics, while the MDM is applied to model structural arrangements and dependencies between the domains and within themselves. The FBFP method, on the other hand, is applied at the functional level, provides potential failure information based on product functions during conceptual design in product subsystems. As a result of the proposed framework, risk analysis of subsystems becomes possible and feedback on product architecture could be provided. To test validity of the proposed approach, here is presented a case study with climate chamber with heat regeneration.
