| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this paper is to develop a new methodology for evaluating design efficiency based on assembly criteria. The
new methodology can be utilised to support the design for modularity approach. The verification of the new approach was
carried out by redesigning an electrical table fan parts and components. A modularity design approach which focuses on the
seven main mechanical assembly and seven assembly criteria was exploited. The result indicates an improvement of the
overall design efficiency of the table fan. The paper emphasises that through modularity approach, complexity of the product
can be reduced. | en_US |
