The designer is required to reflect consumer needs in the aesthetic design while giving consideration to the applications and functions of the product. For this reason, effective techniques enabling design creation based on consumer preference and needs are indispensable. The Taguchi method has been effectively used for the robust design of products. In this study, we proposed a design support method applying the Taguchi Method to robust design in respect to the inconsistencies of human kansei（sensitivity）, and specifically applied it for quantitatively analyzing the robustness of design solutions created in accordance with the design concept of a digital camera.展开更多
