Taking into account the supplier involvement in the new product development (NPD),
this article focuses on the synthesis evaluation, and selection of the part design
scheme in part deployment process. The concepts of performance indicator (PI) and
integrated performance indicators (IPI) are introduced to measure the performance of
the part design scheme and product design scheme respectively. A two-layer fuzzy
synthesis evaluation method is applied to assess the part design scheme in a
supplier-involved new product development process. Combining the information of
House of Quality (HoQ) and evaluation results of the part design scheme and taking
into account the design budget, a 0–1 integer programming model is
developed for selection of the parts combinatorial scheme in supplier-involved part
deployment processes. A case study with a type of liquid crystal display (LCD)
design in an Electronic Appliance Manufacturing Enterprise is also illustrated in
the article.
