- Design for standardisation and compatibility is aimed at creating products with parts that fit other products as well.
- Design for ease of maintenance and repair enables products to be maintained in tip-top condition.
- Design for upgradability and adaptability allows for future expansion and modification.
- Design for disassembly and reassembly ensures product parts can be separated and reassembled easily.
