Abstract
Recent rapid market change requires production systems to be stood up and modified very rapidly. In this study, a redesigning method is proposed which collects and reuses experts' knowledge and intention explicitly and modifies a production system systematically and effectively based on them. This redesigning method consists of the following three steps; 1. representing designers' intention in the form of QFD (Quality Function Deployment) table, 2. deciding effective redesigning points by evaluating production cost, intended production quality and resulting production quality, and 3. supporting a designer to search for ideas of improvements by adopting a checklist. A case study illustrates advantages of the proposed method.
