New design method prevents catastrophic product failures and boosts reliability.
The article discusses how important it is to design product behaviors carefully to ensure product functions work properly. If product behaviors are not well thought out, it can lead to product failures and loss of reliability. The researchers suggest a new approach to simultaneously design product behaviors and structures to improve reliability. They address three key issues: integrating behavior and structure information, using a hierarchical design process, and evaluating reliability. This method can help prevent product defects and maintain a strong brand in the market.
