An integrated methodology for formulated products design
As schematically presented in Figure 2, the proposed integrated
methodology consists of two main phases: consumer assessment and product
realization. In the first one, consumer preferences are assessed, and
the outputs converted into a set of heuristics. These are then
integrated into the second phase of product realization, where product
modeling is carried out based on available quantitative property models
and heuristic rules converted into algebraic restrictions.
