Automotive Product Design and Development of Glove Box

Paras M. Tholiya, Suresh P. Deshmukh

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) it is the best way to transform customer requirements and needs into quality characteristics and develop and design quality products. In comparison, globalization has led to an increase in competition in the automobile market. All this drives companies to shorten their product development cycles while boosting innovation while reviewing the existing product. This research article presents some methodologies for accelerating mechanical design and development using knowledge-based techniques to modify the automotive glove box.

A common product development method has been developed to achieve the final glove box design, which went through the following steps. First of all, data collection was adopted to gather as much data as possible from the existing products. Then, a list of target values of the product specifications was defined as per the development of products. The next step was to create several concepts of glove box mechanism that were suitable to improve the design. The concept was further developed by generating the cost-effective parameters analyzed based on manufacture, assembly, weight, and size using the DFMA (Design for Manufacturing Assembly) method. The failures and effects were analyzed from DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method.
