This study was conducted as part of the technical research and development project, ‘Seat cushion slimming’, of the internal system plastic materials development team of Namyang Research Institute for Hyundai Motor Company. A study on the feasibility of obtaining similar comfort performance compared to the original system was conducted by developing foam pad slimming of a seat with special elastic fabric. As a validation step, verification was carried out on the key parts, not finished seat. The principle test will be carried out by dividing the original and development systems. The test parameters and objective functions were selected for each system and principle test set were organized according to the design of experiment method. Factors related with suspension, elastic fabric, form pad were employed as main test parameters. The static load characteristic, point load characteristic, and bottom feel as the seat quantitative test items were employed as objective functions. This paper contains only the results of the principle test on the original systems, and the principle tests on the development system are currently underway. The main effect on the objective functions of the test parameters and validation verification will be analyzed through principle test results for each system.
