In recent years, the demand of notebook computer (NB) has trended to be over that of desktop personal computers. Since the variety of customers’ needs and environmental concerns are dramatically increasing, incremental improvements for NB may not meet the rapid change. Therefore, innovative design and green design have become critical and inevitable issues for NB designers and manufacturers in Taiwan at present time.This study applies four phases Quality Function Deployment (QFD I –QFD IV) to turn NB customers’ needs into required design attributes, components or modules, process operations and production. That is, concurrent engineering are readily implementd to proactively address potential problems in NB concept development. In this manner, many enviromental contradictions or problems arising in product design, product architecture, manufacturing process, and shop floor control for NB can be explored and prevented in this stage. Secondly, TRIZ theory, 40 TRIZ innovation principles, contradiction matrix, and eco-efficiency elements are utilized to inspire the green-design solutions for major contradictions or problems occuring in QFD I –QFD IV. Based on the suggestions and guidaness by eco-efficiency elements and TRIZ innovative principles, the results show that innovative feasible solutions focusing on the major contradictions or problems occuring in each NB QFD phase can be quickly developed and implemented. Less engineering changes in testing and refinement phase, more enviromental safety, robuster product performance, and less R&D project budget are achieved by the combination of four phase QFDs, TRIZ, and green-design proposed by this study. In addition, same practice can be utilized for other electrical consumer products to reduce R&D effort and to enhance the quick response of designer and manufacturers.
