In order to identify where to focus the tolerance analysis during the product development process, it is beneficial to find the key characteristics. However, for highly integrated, multiple-state products, product designers have difficulties in efficiently communicating and tracking the complex mode of action. As a consequence, not all relevant key characteristics are found in the initial screenings. We propose a systematic graphical representation scheme for modelling the mode of action of products, and we apply this scheme on a case example, in order to illustrate its applicability and its usefulness for the identification of key characteristics.
