Abstract

Product platform working as the foundation of product family design and manufacture, its ability for deriving variants mainly depends on its capability. In order to improve the stability and capability of the product platform, TRIZ is introduced to optimize the resource on which the product platform is built. Based on Kano Model the essential for product platform evolving with time is discussed. Based on analyzing the conversion of product family´s modules, two types evolution of the platform is defined. An approach of TRIZ aided evolution of product platform is put forward. The laws of evolution of need is introduced to cultivate the function of the product family, the technology maturity of product family is used as the criterion for product platform management, the patterns and lines of technological system evolution are applied to forecast and select substituted technology on which the substituted platform is built. As an illustration a product platform built for butterfly valve is discussed
