Abstract
This paper explores electronic product design with a focus on embedded systems, highlighting the strategic approaches used by design engineers to balance innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness. It examines design practices across firms and introduces a framework that portrays design engineers as “administrative men,” adept at navigating project complexities by choosing among four distinct design paths: “Repeat Order, Variant Design, Innovative Design, and Strategic Design.” The “Repeat Order” path focuses on reproducing existing designs with minimal changes, while “Variant Design” adapts designs to specific requirements. “Innovative Design” aims for novel solutions, and “Strategic Design” integrates long-term innovation with business strategies. Each path reflects unique goals, resource demands, and methodologies. To support the selection of the most suitable design path, this study introduces a novel metric and a structured methodology for evaluating design yield and cost. This approach includes analyzing complexity, estimating yield, and calculating total costs, culminating in an objective function designed to enhance design efficiency and accuracy. By offering actionable insights and a comprehensive decision-making framework, the paper aims to optimize the embedded design process, addressing the evolving challenges and opportunities in electronic product development.
