Collaborative Evaluation of Engineering Design Concepts on the Web

Selection of the best design concept in engineeringdesign is important to improve the product quality andreduce the development time and cost. To improve theefficiency of concept selection by a design team, a modeland a web-based system are developed to facilitate theselection procedure. Four facilities are provided: l) todefine the criteria and calculate their weightscollaboratively, 2) to assess the performance of designalternatives by all design members, 3) to enable theevaluation in the imprecise and uncertain environment,and 4) to make the selection procedure more robust andflexible. With the aid of the collaborative system, a designteam can select the most suitable design concept forfurther refinement. A case study is given to demonstratethe model and system.
