A study of prototypes, design activity, and design outcome
چکیده انگلیسی
The building of prototypes is an important facet of the product design process. This paper examines factors in prototyping, including part count and time spent on various design activities, and their correlations with design outcome. The research questions asked: Do simpler prototypes mean a more successful design? Does the amount of time spent on a project, both overall and on different activities over a project cycle, relate to design success? And does it matter when this time is spent? One of the main findings of this study is that prototypes with fewer parts correlate with better design outcome, as do prototypes that have fewer parts added to them over the course of development. This paper also finds that committing more time to a project is not necessarily associated with a successful design outcome.
