With the growth of sustainability challenges, the automotive is regarded as one of the most important and strategic industries in the manufacturing sector. Reducing time in the product development process, seeking higher product quality, maintaining sustainable products, lowering product cost in the manufacturing process, and fulfilling customers’ requirements are the key factors of the success of a company. To achieve these requirements, automotive companies must consider the use of new sustainable models that ensure design efforts, customer, and societal needs from product ideation until its end-of-life. To do so, the leading companies adopt Design for X (DFX) as a concurrent approach, which considers several issues through different factors Xs. However, with the modified applications for various domains, several researchers have developed many DFX techniques. This multiplicity makes it difficult for researchers and practitioners to keep up with DFX development. Hence, the aim of this paper is first to use mixed and different techniques to organize and select the most prominent DFXs that consider quality and customer satisfaction strategies in designing automotive product. Second, a conceptual framework called, Design for Relevance (DFRelevance) is introduced. It addresses the design factors (guidelines) of each DFX and their associated modules to facilitate the collaboration between designers and all the project team during the whole product lifecycle. Furthermore, a modeling approach based on unsupervised learning is used to accomplish DFRelevance concerns. The aim of this approach is to cluster similar modules into homogenous groups to facilitate the simultaneous implementation of the concurrent engineering strategy.

相关并行工程方法的设计：IATF 16949 要求和 X 技术设计的集成

随着可持续性挑战的增加，汽车被视为制造业中最重要和最具战略意义的行业之一。减少产品开发过程中的时间、寻求更高的产品质量、保持产品的可持续发展、降低制造过程中的产品成本以及满足客户的要求是公司成功的关键因素。为了实现这些要求，汽车公司必须考虑使用新的可持续模型，以确保从产品构思到生命周期结束的设计工作、客户和社会需求。为此，领先的公司采用 X 设计 (DFX) 作为并发方法，它通过不同的因素 X 来考虑几个问题。然而，随着各种领域的修改应用程序，一些研究人员开发了许多 DFX 技术。这种多样性使研究人员和从业人员难以跟上 DFX 的发展。因此，本文的目的首先是使用混合和不同的技术来组织和选择最突出的 DFX，这些 DFX 在设计汽车产品时考虑了质量和客户满意度策略。其次，引入了一个称为相关性设计 (DFRelevance) 的概念框架。它解决了每个 DFX 及其相关模块的设计因素（指南），以促进整个产品生命周期中设计师和所有项目团队之间的协作。此外，基于无监督学习的建模方法用于完成 DFRelevance 问题。
