Abstract
Recently, considerable environments are varying due to the increase of individual user needs and globalization of markets. Therefore, robust design is attended as a method to acknowledge various environments and to maintain the subjects function. In the early process of design, it is required to determine effective control factors and error factors to ensure robust performance. In order to precede robust design, a design theory, which fundamentally explains the process of design, needs to be focused on. As one of those design theories, the Multispace Design Model (M model) is acquainted. The M model introduces a State Space as a space connoting various environments. Since robust design requires determining elements of a presumptive environment as error factors, the M method, which can clarify the presumptive environment, is applied to robust design. With this intention, the purpose of this study is to propose a robust design method incorporating a method to determine factors, based on the M model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through application.
