Product repair processes lack continuity of information

Users, logistics teams and service staff have different understandings of repair status and accessory requirements.

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

Three-step solution method

  1. Map the flow of people, items and information from the repair request to the product’s return.
  2. Standardize problem descriptions, item inventory, and status indicators.
  3. Validate handoffs through complete repair simulations.

Key Deliverables

  • Repair service map
  • Item Inventory
  • Status rules

Verification Approach

Check for missing attachments, duplicate inquiries, and handoff inconsistencies.
