AB  - The aim of this study was to design an appropriate schoolbag according to student’s need to avoid
the negative effect of incompatibility with the required specifications. Data collection was based on the needs
of students as consumers with 349 randomly selected male respondents from 100 universities in the special
region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Student need was assessed using a questionnaire as a data-collection tool.
The data were then processed using an Axiomatic Design (AD) analysis to determine the specifications and
propose a final product from the design. AD is a flexible design method and it is appropriate for the planning
process and decision making. Based on questionnaire results, four main criteria were identified; the bag needed
to be multifunctional, safe, robust and aesthetic. The analysis showed that there was no significant difference
between student needs and the schoolbag design attributes, p>. The schoolbag design was considered
in terms of compliance with student needs, employee safety, durability and appearance.
