Abstract

(1) Background: Personalized product customization is an important direction in the development of the chair industry. This paper studies an intelligent design method for the rapid realization of personalized office chair customization; (2) Methods: based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) method, the characteristic attributes of office chair patterns are analyzed, and an attribute model is established. According to office chair data and customer demand, an intelligent design model using multi-layer weighted k-nearest neighbor (K-NN) for chair patterns is developed using the entropy weight method and an analytic hierarchy process. In addition, an example is employed for verification of the K-NN and multi-layer weighted K-NN retrieval models; (3) Results: both models are able to effectively retrieve chair type cases that meet the target requirements from the office chair pattern base; the case matching similarity of the multi-layer weighted K-NN retrieval model was higher, with an average increase of about 3.9%, and the chair pattern case results obtained by setting different customer needs are different, indicating that the case can be selected according to different customer preferences, which is more conducive to personalized product customization design; (4) Conclusions: The multi-layer weighted K-NN model for intelligent chair pattern design proposed in this paper is more conducive to personalized product customization design.
