Genetic algorithms (GAs) can be viewed as random searching algorithm that based on the ideas of natural evolution. It is quite
suitable for the complicated non-structural problems, for it has some properties such as self-adaptability, parallelity, evaluation-based,
probability and multi-solution. Its principle is similar to human designers’ behavior, a trial-and-error process guided by
the evaluation regarding the goal: product optimization schemes. The paper analyzes the comparability between product optimization
design and GAs, and proposes a technical method with its algorithm structures based on GAs. The codified representation, evaluation
function and optimize searching of product design was basically realized based on GAs.
