Product repairs require too many parts to be replaced

A fault in a small component requires an entire module to be replaced, making maintenance inefficient.

Research area: Sustainable design and circular useProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Document common maintenance tasks and how the relevant components connect.
  2. Explore independently replaceable modules and clear maintenance access points.
  3. Use repair-task prototypes to test replacement steps and reinstallation.

Key Deliverables

  • Repair task map
  • Modular concept
  • Replacement guide

Verification Approach

Check replacement scope, removal and installation steps, and reinstallation errors.
