本研究期望,建構一個能夠提供設計者發想思考的設計方法,協助設計者發展寵物商品之概念。近年來,許多人選擇飼養寵物陪伴自己紓解生活壓力,使得寵物相關行業不斷新興,促使這塊「寂寞產業」逐漸受產業界重視,然而寵物商品設計尚未有一個完整的設計方法與規格來輔助設計者,讓產品的概念發展能夠透過設計方法的運用,有效率的發展產品概念,以求減少錯誤的發生。本研究期望,建構一個能夠提供設計者發想思考的設計方法,協助設計者發展寵物商品之概念。首先探討飼主與寵物間互動關係,透過照顧過程中曾出現的問題與需求,以ISM分析法建立一個完整的因素關聯圖,作為產品概念發展引導設計發想主要的路徑,使設計者透過關聯性結構聚焦產品的核心價值。再以消費者角度探討寵物產品規格發展,從消費者觀點蒐集市面寵物商品的設計規格,以AHP分析消費者觀點的設計層次權重,作為產品發展時的主要產品設計程序;最後將ISM與AHP分析結果進行矩陣,進而建構出能夠輔助設計者產品發想的設計方法。本研究中舉例四項發想路徑以及四樣寵物產品進行寵物商品的發展,設計方法操作結果顯示,實驗過程中確實能透過此設計方法提供設計者商品發想與靈感,協助設計者明確的概念發想方向。此方法能提供設計者商品發展,但操作過程仍有許多細節需要思考與討論,需要花費較多的時間在因素的分析與整理,避免最終結果發生錯誤。研究結果顯示,確切的使用此設計方法能夠協助設計者以更具邏輯性的建構方案並同時滿足顧客需求,明確發展出因應客戶所需的商品。
The purpose of this study was to build a method of creative design thoughts that designer can used for developing a pet equipment. Recent years have seen increased attention being given to pet equipment because the number of pet owners is increasing. However, there is a lack of complete methods for pet equipment's designers. They need a design method with efficient product development concept that in order to reduce the occurrence of errors. First, we conducted an investigation of the relationships between owners and pets and rummaged the problems and needs that build a inter-relationship diagraph with Interpretive Structural Modeling(ISM). Designer can find out the core value of the product in a concept development thinking paths.Second, we collected design specifications from pet equipments on the market with consumer's perspective. According to consumer preferences to adjust the weights of pet equipment features become a Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) form. The final result revealed by two different analysis of results were integrating with a matrix form to let designer building a concept product. This paper presents a development with four thinking paths and four types of pet equipment.Experimental results obtained this design method can provide a clear direction for inspiration and concept. To avoid the final result of the error occurred, we must spend more time in processing this method with analysing and organizing the details. Research results have shown that the design method accurately can be help designer developing a product with a more logical method and satisfying consumer needs.
