Product development to improve intuitive manual assembly.

In the research group design.nexus of UGent, a method was developed during a PhD to simplify the assembly process and make it more intuitive, starting with product development. Within the Tetra project it is the intention to implement this methodology in various business contexts and on various products. The company-specific factors must be mapped out in order to optimize the methodology in function of these factors, as well as quantify the impact of the methodology in various business contexts. The project also includes demonstrator case(s) and developed training tool(s) that enable designers in companies to implement the methodology in a simple and tailor-made manner.
