Domestic appliances conceptualization using structured planning approach

Abstract

Structured Planning' is a concept design methodology developed by Prof. Charles Owen of IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) over the last thirty years. It is a process for finding, structuring, using and communicating the information necessary for design and planning activities to achieve Product Integrity. The method has been proven effective in large scale system product like a space station or an urban development planning. However, case study and application in small-scale consumer product has been lacking.
