摘要

The paper describes the use of MFF (Matrix of function and functionality) as a tool in product development process. After years of analysis of matrix methods, functions and functionalities of the products, we have developed a matrix tool that is designed for a wide range of engineers to help developing of new products or their parts. The paper presents the core of the MFF, that is the mathematical model and the computer application. Basic idea was to create an innovative knowledge base in a specific area that contains at one place the knowledge of engineers acquired during their working life, or during product development. With MFF it is possible to generate completely new products with new functional structures where functions are unambiguously described by physical sizes-influencing the functions.
