| Abstract: | Using customer requirements and needs in the product development process has become a major subject in
quality engineering. Many scholars have tried to develop systems that enable product developers and designers to consider
customer requirements during the design process. Among them, Kansei Engineering (KE) is the first to consider customer
feelings as input to the design process. KE is a Japanese word which doesn’t have an exact synonym in English but can be
interpreted as sensibility, feeling, or aesthetics. KE was originated in Japan around 1970. Although applications of KE began
from automotive industries, nowadays many other industries such as electric home appliance industry, office equipment
industry and so on, have made extensive use of KE.
There are six techniques for the implementation of KE concept: Category Classification, KE computer System, KE
Modeling, Hybrid KE System, Virtual KE, and Collaborative KE. These techniques differ from each other in their
approaches to apply KE in different development process situations in terms of information availability, complexity, and
required performance.
This paper presents a detailed critical review of the KE concept and a new classification based on computational and non
computational approaches. It will also provide a review of the application of KE in different areas. |
