Abstract : A sustainable society requires changes in the traditional paradigm
of mass production and consumption. Products such as personal
computers and smartphones are discarded even though they are fully
functional. This paper proposes a design method for product
upgradability which satisfies various different customer demands to
increase the product value and extend the value lifespan by
exchanging components closely related to its deterioration in value.
In addition, this paper also proposes a method that can specify
future product performances, effective upgradable product
components, and the side effects of upgrade on other product
components. Finally, this paper discusses the applicability of our
proposed design method by considering a vacuum cleaner and various
different customer demands.
