由於經濟全球化與產業高度分工，現代產品開發成為由不同的團隊，以分散的方式共同完成。如何在資訊不完全通透的情形下，進行有效率的設計最佳化，仍缺乏有效的做法。因此建構符合協同產品開發環境的分析模式，解決分散式決策環境下的設計衝突問題，遂成為本研究的主要目標。首先延伸解析目標傳遞法(Analytical Target Cascading, ATC)系統架構，進行多領域的設計協商，加入子系統目標需求模式，達成分散式多目標規劃，使參與協商單位獲得較大的決策彈性、自主性及獨立性。接著整合克利金法(Kriging Model)，以改善複雜問題的協商過程中， ATC迭代次數過多或求解時間過長的問題。並加入樣本群更新，減少繁複函數的計算次數，以加速協商的過程。本研究亦利用兩種不同的賽局模式，解決各協同設計部門，在考量各自目標下產生的決策衝突，並根據分析結果提出較佳的決策模式建議。最後將提出的方法分別應用於氣流感測器設計、傳動裝置齒輪盒協同公差分配、水密門設計及壓力容器設計等工程問題，驗證方法的可行性，顯示本研究的實用價值。
