Abstract

The purpose of the second part of the paper was to develop integrated design guidelines for a specific consumer product. For our study, a Mountain Touring Bike (MTB) is used as an example. The procedures and the generic guidelines described in the first part of the paper were applied in developing design guidelines for the bike. A rigorous analysis was carried out to determine and evaluate the importance of different relevant design dimensions. A series of statistical tests were conducted in order to test the hypotheses that the guidelines do ensure the usability and functionality of the product.
