• W155804458 abstract "Recent Philips consumer research showed that big, bulky canister vacuum cleaners negativelyinfluence consumer satisfaction. Consumers stated that they had a hard time cleaning betweentwo objects, that big canister vacuum cleaners move clumsily and that such a vacuum cleaner istoo heavy to lift when cleaning the stairs. Therefore Philips wanted to research the possibilities ofdeveloping a small canister vacuum cleaner, without decreasing the performance level that hadbeen reached. The Philips ‘Performer’ vacuum cleaner was chosen as the competitor model.The research started with an inventory of the available information on size within Philips. BecausePhilips is a big international organization, the assumption was made that all necessary informationto perform this research would be available. A lot of the information indeed was present, howeverthe effect of decreasing overall vacuum cleaner size on consumer satisfaction was missing.Therefore, apart from an internal research into the requirements for the Philips departments, aconsumer satisfaction research also had to be done.To gather all the right information within Philips, specialists involved in the vacuum cleanerdevelopment process were interviewed. As a preparation to these interviews, colleagues wereinformed about the project and its goals through a Value Proposition House and two use scenarios.After the interviews, the acquired requirements were bundled in the requirement managementprogram DOORS. In this program the requirements were elaborated on stakeholder, system andcomponent level. After processing the results, it became clear that there were few detailedrequirements for the development of a small vacuum. It was clear, however, that decreasing thesize of certain components has a negative influence on the performance. For example the airtubes; there is no minimum width for the tubes, but a change in tube diameter causesperformance loss.While gathering the information at the Philips departments, a consumer research was prepared.The goal of the investigation was to determine the effect of size, weight and the size-weightcombination (independent variables) on consumer satisfaction (dependant variable). To test theseeffects, three vacuum cleaner dummies, with different sizes and changeable weights, were made.Participants were asked to perform three operations with the dummies and give the model a score.The result of the research was that consumer satisfaction is the biggest at approximately 12 dm3.Results on weight, and therefore as also on size-weight combinations, were invalid due to a widespread in consumer satisfaction scores and a small difference in average scores.The possibilities of decreasing overall vacuum cleaner size were explored by first determining thekey drivers of a vacuum cleaner. These were then used together with system and componentinformation to determine the key components of a vacuum cleaner. Hereafter ideas weregenerated, using the innovation methods TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, and SIT,Systematic Inventive Thinking, to decrease overall vacuum cleaner size. Then together with thecomponent specialist, a component roadmap was made for the next five years.As a result of the research into the possibilities of decreasing size, it is recommended to changethe motor type to a brushless motor and to also research alternative ways of winding the electriccord. The last potential opportunity, compressing the collected dust, would also save a lot ofspace, however, research into alternative ways of emptying the dust bucket should be done first.To visualize the results, two vacuum cleaner concepts were developed. The first concept was avacuum cleaner with approximately the determined optimal volume, using only currently availablecomponents that theoretically could perform as well as the Philips ‘Performer’. The second conceptwas a vacuum cleaner that could be developed within five years if the proposed research would bedone. Because the expectation is that consumers prefer the slim upright vacuum cleaners abovethe canister vacuum cleaners, the second concept is a stick concept. Both concepts are reviewed using the key drivers to show the improvement of the new concepts." @default.
