Abstract

Most products in furniture industry are usmg integrated concept in which the manufacturer should have more designs for product radiations, more complex parts for assembly and disassembly, the interactions between blocks are ill-defined and may be incidental to the primary function of the product, the functional element of a product is implemented using more than one block and changing a block in an integrated product may influence many ~ ... :tction elements and require changes to several related blocks. Besides, the customer demands products that are specifically address their needs, short delivery time, high quality, low price and a product that they can give added-value when buy the product. Moreover the customer demand is changing dynamically and difficult to forecast. Therefore modularization is concept that can offer competitive advantage to overcome this complexity. Modularization is a concept where each functional element of the product is implemented by exactly one module, and in which there are a few welldefined interactions between the modules with +:!:~"' simple definition this concept will reduce part so that the assembly process will easy. In order to visualize the concept of modular product, the design of book shelves is used in this proj ect. Initially the concept of modular product, the advantages of modular product and comparison between modular and integrated product are presented. This is followed to by market survey about customer requirements in which the customer demands are identified and then translated by using simplified Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in order to strike balance between customer requirements and technological capabilities. Finally, several conceptual designs of book shelves from visualizing modular book shelves are presented so as to verify the practicality of the project.
