Circular Economy is considered a sustainable alternative opposite to Linear Economy, which is based on the "take-make-use-dispose" cycle. However, its degree of implementation is still low. The designers are, among others, ...

In the early stages of the process of new product development appears the need of stablishing the communication processes of creative proposals between the agents implied in the process. It is essential to optimize that ...

Effectiveness is the fulfillment of design problem requirements and needs; whereas feasibility represents how difficult to implement a design solution is. There are several design methods that can be applied in conceptual ...

In circular design, the products keep the resources in circulation during all life cycle phases as long as possible, without generating waste. The circular design helps to expand the Circular Economy in replacement of the ...

TRIZ is the Russian acronym of Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, and it is based on the analysis and classification of millions of patents in order to know their innovation principles, and conclude in the elaboration ...

Functional design has been broadly used in all engineering fields, but nowadays it has been revealed as a useful tool both for enterprise design and organization, and project management and direction. The FBS framework has ...

La fijación en el proceso de diseño conceptual es un problema que afecta tanto al pensamiento creativo como a las acciones que se toman en las diferentes etapas del diseño. Esta problemática afecta de forma negativa a los ...

TRIZ is the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS). It emerges from the study of hundreds of thousands patents, and it consists on a set of model-based tools for idea and innovation solutions ...

Nowadays, designers have the need of transferring information to a heterogeneous society in a standardized way, in order to their ideas achieve success. As this is a computerized age, Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) has ...

The FBS (Function, Behaviour, Structure) framework is broadly used by designers as methodology for design analysis process, since it allows to represent a design evolution from a protocols study. This framework allows ...
