| The purpose of this study was to test a proposed methodology for incorporating packaging concerns into the design process for a gas range product line. For this study several prototypes were tested to investigate the fragility of the products in order to decide the best packaging options and to improve the products design.;The conclusions were that this method has the advantage of taking into consideration several factors that help to improve the quality of the product and offers an adequate package for the product at a minimum cost. However, future work has to be done to evaluate in more detail the benefits of this methodology. |
