Abstract

Companies' interest in developing AI-based intelligent new products is increasing. Recently, the main concern of companies is to innovate customer experience and create new values by developing new products through the effective use of Artificial intelligence technology. However, due to the nature of products based on radical technologies such as artificial intelligence, intelligent products differ from existing products and development methods, so it is clear that there is a limitation to applying the existing development methodology as it is. This study proposes a new research method based on KANO-TOPSIS for the successful development of AI-based intelligent new products by using car voice assistants as an example. Using the KANO model, select and evaluate functions that customers think are necessary for new products, and use the TOPSIS method to derives priorities by finding the importance of functions that customers need. For the analysis, major categories such as vehicle condition check and function control elements, driving-related elements, characteristics of voice assistant itself, infotainment elements, and daily life support elements were selected and customer demand attributes were subdivided. As a result of the analysis, high recognition accuracy should be considered as a top priority in the development of car voice assistants. Infotainment elements that provide customized content based on driver's biometric information and usage habits showed lower priorities than expected, while functions related to driver safety such as vehicle condition notification, driving assistance, and security, also showed as the functions that should be developed preferentially. This study is meaningful in that it presented a new product development methodology suitable for the characteristics of AI-based intelligent new products with innovative characteristics through an excellent model combining KANO and TOPSIS.

인공지능의 등장으로 과학기술 분야 뿐만 아니라 산업의 고도화가 가속화되고 있다. 기업은 인공지능 기술의 효과적인 도입을 통한 지능형 제품 개발로 고객 경험 혁신 및 가치 창출을 실현하고자 한다. 그러나 지능형 제품은 인공지능과 같은 급진적인 기술을 기반으로 하는 제품의 특성상 기존 제품과 개발 방식에 있어 차이를 나타내며, 기존 제품 개발 방법론을 그대로 적용하기에 명확한 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 차량용 음성비서를 예시로 기업들의 성공적인 지능형 신제품 개발을 위한 KANO-TOPSIS 기반의 새로운 연구 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 KANO 모델을 통해 고객들이 신제품에 필요하다고 생각하는 기능을 선별 및 평가하고, TOPSIS를 통해 고객들이 필요로 하는 기능의 중요도를 구해 신제품 개발을 위한 새로운 기능의 우선순위를 도출한다. 분석을 위해 차량 상태 확인 및 기능 제어 요소, 주행 관련 요소, 음성비서 자체의 특성, 인포테인먼트 요소, 일상생활 지원 요소 등 주요 카테고리를 선정 및 고객 요구속성을 세분화하였으며, 분석 결과, 높은 인식 정확도가 차량용 음성비서 개발에 있어 최우선으로 고려되어야 할 요소로 나타났다. 운전자의 생체 정보, 사용 습관 등에 맞춤화된 콘텐츠를 제공하는 인포테인먼트 요소는 예상과 달리 낮은 우선순위를 나타낸 반면 차량 상태 알림, 주행 보조 및 보안 등 운전자의 안전과 관련된 기능들은 보다 우선적으로 개발되어야 할 요건으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 KANO와 TOPSIS를 결합한 우수한 모델을 통해 혁신적인 지능형 신제품의 특성에 맞는 새로운 제품 개발 방법론을 제시했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
