- Abstract
Product platform strategy has been extensively employed by leading manufacturers to economically provide market coverage. Power tool providers, such as Black & Decker and Bosch, are also beneficial from commonizing platform components across their product series. Following the research of the optimization model of platform commonality proposed in the authors' previous research, this paper develops a full set of meta-models for rated output torque and total production cost as functions of selected key design variables and drill components. An example of light-duty cordless drill is broken down into components and parameters through reverse engineering for model validation. The output meta-models are useful to facilitate benefit verification of flexible platform decision for light-duty cordless drills.
