  • Modularity within a matrix of function and functionality (MFF) [Elektronski vir]
    Zadnik, Žiga ...
    The objective of this paper is to present the concept of modularity in the development of a product by means of a descriptive matrix of function and functionality (MFF), based on the generative model ... and the criteria for describing products, functions and functionalities. The purpose of using the modularity of the descriptive MFF is to improve the initial design process, where only the most basic information is available, such as functions and functionalities, and to use the general functionality method, which is not quite possible with the morphological matrix. The modularity inside the MFF is based on the mutual relation between the function and the functionality, representing the data definition. In relation to the morphological matrix it is built and defined on the basis of a mathematical model and pre-set rules [1], not just on the basis of design intuition. This work represents a method for solving the modularity with regard to the shape and the function. This should facilitate the generation of the functional and shape structures of new and variant products. The developed MFF modularity model was implemented into a prototype web application and confirmed on a concrete product - the Active Lounge Chair 1.
