The requirements shown in Chapter 1

The requirements shown in Chapter 1.8 and the area of new product analysis cover the
following:
1. System should be modeled with functions
2. System should be modeled as a hierarchical structure.
3. Each function should have specific relationships.
Function Tree is oriented from hierarchical structure of Axiomatic Design and also it
derived from the conventional function analysis. Hierarchical Structure of Axiomatic
Design provides the structure of the system and it looks like the hierarchical modeling of
axiomatic design, elements of which are substituted with functions from Function
Analysis.
Axiomatic Design was invented by Professor Nam Suh, but lots of theories are under
development. The development of axioms is quite well defined but no exact theories are
not existing for hierarchical structure. I worked for 11 years to make useful tool after
1999 and the development of this thesis is quire original.
Usually the hierarchical structure is built from highest functional requirement in the
Axiomatic Design, but Function Tree started to arrange the functions from the
engineering system to the hierarchical structure.
This method also builds hierarchical structure of design parameter (Components). But
main advantages of this analysis are in the modeling of functions.
This is a method to describe the structure of Functions in technical systems. FA is
horizontal modeling to describing existing system and Axiomatic Design and MPV
Analysis is a vertical modeling. Function Tree can show multiple level of
component/functions.
