4.  Need-satisfying offering of an organization Example  P&G does not sell laundry detergent  P&G sells the benefit of clean clothes  Customers buy satisfaction, not parts  May be a good or a service What is a Product?

5. Major factors in design strategy Cost Quality Time-to-market Customer satisfaction Competitive advantage Product and Service Design Product and service design – or redesign – should be closely tied to an organization’s strategy

6.  Translate customer wants and needs into product and service requirements  Refine existing products and services  Develop new products and services  Formulate quality goals  Formulate cost targets  Construct and test prototypes  Document specifications Product or Service Design Activities

7. Reasons for Product and Service Design or Redesign The main forces that initiate design or redesign are market opportunities and threats The factors that give rise to opportunities and threats can be changes in:  economic factors  social and demographic factors  political, liability or legal factors  competitive factors  quality  cost or availability  technological factors

8. Product Strategy Options  Product differentiation  Low cost  Rapid response (product life cycles are becoming shorter, therefore faster developers of new products gain on slower developers and obtain a competitive advantage)

9. The Key Questions  Is there demand for it?  Can we do it? (manufacturability serviceability)  What level of quality is appropriate?  Does it make sense from an economic standpoint?

10. Manufacturability, Serviceability Manufacturability is the capability of an organization to produce an item at an acceptable profit Servicebility is the capability of an organization to provide a service at an acceptable cost or profit

11. Legal and Ethical Considerations  Product liability is the responsibility of a manufacturer for any injuries or damages caused by a faulty produt because of poor workmanship or design  Tradeoff deçisions may involve ethical considerations.

12. Design Guidelines  Produce designs that are consistent with the goals of the organizaton  Give customers the value they expect  Make health and safety a primary concern

13. Sustainability Sustainability: using resources in ways that do not harm ecological systems that support both current and future human existence Product and service design is a focal point in the quest for sustainability. Key aspects include:  Life cycle assessment  The three R’s  Reduction of costs and materials used  Reuse of parts of returned products  Recycling

14. Life Cycle Assessment Life cycle assessment, also known as life cycle analysis, is the assesment of the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its useful life. The goal is the choose products and services that have the least environmental impact while still taking into accoun8t economic considerations.

15. Reduce: Value Analysis/ Value Engineering (VA/VE) (1 of 4) Reducing the use of materials through VA/VE Value analysis refers to an examination of the function of parts and materials in an effort to reduce the cost and/or improve the performance of a product. Achieve equivalent or better performance at a lower cost while maintaining all functional requirements defined by the customer Value analysis focuses on design improvements during production Ratio of value / cost

16. Value Analysis/Value Engineering (2 of 4) Typical questions that would be asked as part of the analysis (to assess value) include : 1. Can we do without it? 2. Does it do more than is required 3. Does it cost more than it is worth? 4. Can something else do a better job 5. Can it be made by less costly method, tools, material? 6. Can it be made cheaper, better or faster by someone else? 7. Does the item have any design features that are not necessary? 8. Can two or more parts be combined into one? 9. Are there nonstandard parts that can be eliminated

17. Benefits of VA/VE (3 of 4) Benefits:  simplified products  additional standardization of products  improved functional aspects of product  improved job design and job safety  improved maintainability of the product  robust design  reduction in cost

71. 3.3.2. Standardization Standardization Extent to which there is absence of variety in a product, service or process Standardized products are immediately available to customers

72. Advantages of Standardization (1 of 2) Fewer parts to deal with in inventory & manufacturing Design costs are generally lower Reduced training costs and time More routine purchasing, handling, and inspection procedures

73. Advantages of Standardization (2 of 2) Orders fillable from inventory Opportunities for long production runs and automation Need for fewer parts justifies increased expenditures on perfecting designs and improving quality control procedures.

74. Disadvantages of Standardization Designs may be frozen with too many imperfections remaining. High cost of design changes increases resistance to improvements. Decreased variety results in less consumer appeal.

75. Mass customization: A strategy of producing basically standardized goods or services, but incorporating some degree of customization by: –Delayed differentiation –Modular design 3.3.3. Mass Customization

76. Delayed differentiation is a postponement tactic  Producing but not quite completing a product or service until customer preferences or specifications are known 3.3.3.1. Delayed Differentiation

77. 3.3.3.2. Modular Design Modular design is a form of standardization in which component parts are subdivided into modules that are easily replaced or interchanged. It allows: – easier diagnosis and remedy of failures – easier repair and replacement – simplification of manufacturing and assembly And it adds flexibility to both production and marketing

80. Organizing for Product Development (1 of 2) Historically – distinct departments –Duties and responsibilities are defined –Difficult to foster forward thinking Today – team approach –Representatives from all disciplines or functions –Concurrent engineering – cross functional team

81. Traditional Approach –“We design it, you build it” or “Over the wall” Concurrent Engineering –“Let’s work together simultaneously” Organizing for Product Development (2 of 2)

82. “Over the Wall” Approach Design Mfg New Product

83. Breaking Down Barriers to Effective Design

84. Design Teams Marketing, manufacturing, engineering Suppliers, dealers, customers Lawyers, accountants, insurance companies

85. Concurrent Engineering Defined Concurrent engineering is the bringing together of personnel from various functions together early in the design phase. CE can be defined as the simultaneous development of project design functions, with open and interactive communication existing among all team members for the purposes of reducing time to market, decreasing cost, and improving quality and reliability Time savings are created by performing activities in parallel

86. Concurrent Design Improves quality of early design decisions Scheduling and management can be complex as tasks are done in parallel

87. General Performance Specifications Instructions to supplier: “Design a set of brakes that can stop a 2200 pound car from 60 miles per hour in 200 feet ten times in succession without fading. The brakes should fit into a space 6” x 8” x 10” at the end of each axle and be delivered to the assembly plant for $40 a set.” Supplier submits design specifications and prepares a prototype for testing

88. Design for Manufacture and Assembly Design a product for easy & economical production Incorporate production design early in the design phase Taking into account the manufacturing capabilities of the organization in designing goods The more general term “design for operations” encompasses services as well as manufacturing Improves quality, productivity and reduces costs Shortens time to design and manufacture

89. DFM Guidelines 1.Simplify products by reducing the number of separate parts 2.Minimize the number of parts, tools, fasteners, and assemblies 3.Use standard parts and repeatable processes 4.Design parts for many uses 5.Incorporate modularity in design 6.Design for ease of assembly, minimal handling 7.Allow for efficient testing and parts replacement

90. To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition,  2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Greatest improvements related to DFMA arise from simplification of the product by reducing the number of separate parts: During the operation of the product, does the part move relative to all other parts already assembled? Must the part be of a different material or be isolated from other parts already assembled? Must the part be separate from all other parts to allow the disassembly of the product for adjustment or maintenance?

91. Design for Assembly (DFA) Procedure for reducing the number of parts Evaluate methods for assembly Determine the sequence of assembly operations

92. To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition,  2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. DFMA software focuses on the effect of design upon assembly, allows designers to examine the integration of product designs before the product is manufactured.

110. Design for Robustness Product can fail due to poor design quality Products subjected to many conditions Robust Design results in products or services that can function over a broad range of conditions A robust product is to be designed that is insensitive to environmental factors either in manufacturing or in use Product is designed so that small variations in production or assembly do not adversely affect the product Design products for consistent performance Robust design studies Controllable factors - under designer’s control Uncontrollable factors - from user or environment Central feature is parameter design

111. Consistency is Important Consistent errors are easier to correct than random errors Parts within tolerances may yield assemblies which aren’t Consumers prefer product characteristics near their ideal values

112. Collaborative Product Commerce Share and work on design files in real time from physically separate locations, typically over the internet Accelerates product development Helps resolve product launch issues Improves the quality of design
