Description
Summary:Optimization and selecting effective design parameters are a big issue in the field of product design and development. The optimal value determination for design parameters is a challenge for the furniture industry. Therefore, an appropriate statistical approach is required. In this research the full factorial two-level four-factor design of experiment method was used to determine the optimal values for a shape changeable furniture.  For the m-chair’s- which can be used as a chair, floor bed, and table, four design parameters- bending axis material surface roughness, density of body material, width of the surface plane, and the number of bending axis were evaluated on basis of the performance time of shape changing where the optimal value of influential parameters were determined for a minimum reshaping time using Minitab. This method can be implemented for unique product design. But for further study, different form changing times should be considered individually.
