This research aims to enhance Modular Function Deployment by incorporating assembly considerations into modular product design.
Developed a set of enhancements to Modular Function Deployment that integrates Design for Assembly principles.
Introduced structured heuristics and a coded interface taxonomy to guide architectural synthesis.
Demonstrated the method using a case study involving a handheld leaf blower.
Reduced assembly effort was observed during the application of the enhanced method.
Simplified interfaces increased user interaction efficiency, improving overall product usability.
Increased potential for automation was noted, indicating a faster transition to efficient volume production.
