... the economic benefit to the producer as the single criterion in alternative selection. The technique of Discrete Choice Analysis (DCA) is introduced for constructing a product demand model, which is crucial for the evaluations of both profit and production cost. An academic universal motor design problem...

... and a market system model with discrete choice analysis and for describing the compromise among sequence of product rollout, arrangement of product lineup, required engineering resource, expected profit, etc. Then, the compromise among those factors is illustrated through the case study on a simplified...

... — the Discrete Choice Analysis (DCA) model and the C4.5 Decision Tree (DT) classification model — is performed, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each approach in relation to customer choice preferences modeling. A vehicle data set from a well established data repository is used to evaluate each...

INTRODUCTION Automobile manufacturers aim to produce vehicle designs at earn market share and maximize their profits. However, a roduct equipped with good...

..., internal, and external inconsistencies across users. The examples demonstrate the impact of inconsistent preference construction on common engineering and marketing design methods, including discrete choice analysis, modeling stated vs. revealed preferences, and the Kano method and thus QFD. Exploring...

... on using the discrete choice analysis approach to demand modeling, in this work, the discrete choice analysis method is enhanced by introducing latent variables to include the customer’s attitude and perception in a demand model. The latent variable approach better captures psychological factors...

... research, little work exists on product demand modeling that addresses the specific needs of engineering design in particular that facilitates engineering decision-making. Building upon our earlier work on using the discrete choice analysis approach to demand modeling, in this work, we provide detailed...
