ABSTRAK


Untuk mewujudkan sebuah produk yang memenuhi permintaan pelanggan adalah
sering rumit dan mengelirukan. Ini adalah kerana kepuasan tersebut datang dari
perasaan berkenaan produk. Kajian ini adalah mengenai analisis terhadap reka
bentuk dan pencirian produk yang berkaitan dengan ciri-ciri afektif atau emosi
produk. Dalam kajian ini, kaedah yang digunakan adalah Kansei Kejuruteraan dalam
bentuk Perbezaan Semantik untuk menterjemahkan perasaan pengguna dan Model
Kano untuk menentukan sifat keutamaan yang diperlukan oleh pelanggan. Dengan
menggabungkan kedua-dua kaedah, kesemua ciri-ciri produk boleh diberikan
keutamaan untuk memenuhi permintaan pelanggan. Tinjauan yang dijalankan dalam
kajian ini adalah berdasarkan temubual dan soal selidik. Kajian ini mendapati
bahawa perkataan Kansei yang berkaitan dengan reka bentuk produk (reka bentuk
pen) adalah "Irritating-Convenience" (IC), "Ugly-Beautiful" (UB), "Simple-Stylish"
(SS), "Boring-Attractive" (BA), "Miserable-Comfortable" (MC) dan "Slippery-Firm"
(SF). Berdasarkan kaji selidik yang dijalankan terhadap 700 pelajar di Melaka, reka
bentuk No.7adalah rekaan yang paling digemari mereka. Perkataan Kansei yang
paling memberi kesan terhadap reka bentuk yang diberikan adalah “MiserableComfortable" (MC) dan "Irritating-Convenience" (IC). Di dalam analisa melalui
kaedah Kano, kesemua faktor mempunyai atribut Indiffrent (I). Keputusan pilihan
yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah dengan menggunakan Proses Hierarki
Analisis (AHP) dan Fuzzy Proses Hierarki Analisis (FAHP). Analisis yang

dijalankan dalam kajian ini adalah dengan menggunakan SPSS dan perisian Expert
Choice, manakala analisis ujian pos dijalankan untuk mengesahkan keputusan
sebelumnya. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa ciri-ciri reka bentuk yang diputuskan oleh
kebanyakan responden adalah pen yang telah klik atas, poket dipotong, dan tanpa
genggaman jari.

 

ABSTRACT

Through the creating of a product that highly fulfills the demand of the customer is
often complicated and confusing. This is due to customer demand for the
satisfactions state is coming from the feelings toward the product. This study
analyzes the design and characterization of the product related to the affective or
emotional characteristic of products. In this study, the method used are Kansei
Engineering applied in the Semantic Differential in order to translate consumers’
feelings and Kano Model to determine the priority attribute required by the
customers. By combining these two methods, all features of the products can be
prioritized based on the importance for fulfilling the customer demands. The surveys
conducted in this study were based on interview and questionnaires distributed. This

study found that the Kansei words related to the product design (pen design) were
“Irritating-Convenience” (IC), “Ugly-Beautiful” (UB), “Simple-Stylish” (SS),
“Boring-Attractive” (BA), “Miserable-Comfortable” (MC) and “Slippery-Firm”
(SF). Based on the survey carried to 700 respondents in Melaka, specifically the
students, the proposed design no.7 was as the most preference design by them. The
most respondents articulated the design to their quality feeling as Miserable Comfortable” (MC) and “Irritating - Convenience” (IC).

While towards Kano

method, they justified as Indifferent (I) of quality attribute. The preference decision
used in this study is by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy
Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). The analysis carried out in this study is by
using SPSS and Expert choice software, while the post test analysis is conducted to
validate the previous results. This study found that the design characteristics decided
by most of respondents is the pen that have clicked top, pocket clipped, and without
finger grips.
