16 Applications of Kansei Engineering to Personalization Practical ways to include consumer expectations into personalization
This chapter proposes two practical
ways to include user preferences in a personalization system aimed at
psychological perception and based on a Kansei system. In many mass customization
systems the consumer as an inexperienced designer can get lost and will
become frustrated about the huge amount of offered possibilities. We will
discuss how Kansei engineering can be used to guide customers in order
to quickly find the desired design according to their preferences. Secondly,
the number of possible design options and combinations in a modular personalization
system can be higher than stocking, logistic and manufacturing capabilities.
Focusing production variability on features affecting most users' preferences
and purchase decisions may reduce this amount of design options. We will
use case studies form the office furniture and footwear industry to support
these ideas.
