Study Notes
Product Design
- Product design is the process of creating a product that meets consumer needs and desires, including its appearance, features, and user experience.
- Importance of product design includes: customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, brand identity, cost-effectiveness and market success.
- Factors influencing product design decisions include: market research, technological advancements, legal and regulatory requirements, and manufacturing constraints.
Activities of Product Design
- Incremental Development: Making small improvements to an existing product over time, based on feedback and market trends.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborating across different departments, like design, engineering, marketing, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
- Effective Communication: Maintaining clear communication among cross-functional teams to ensure a smooth product development process.
Product Development Process
- This process involves various stages, including ideation, concept development, design, testing, and production.
Service Design Process
- Understanding Service Design Principles: Focuses on creating meaningful experiences for customers while meeting business objectives, incorporating empathy, inclusivity, sustainability, and feasibility.
- Mapping Customer Journeys: Visualizing and understanding the end-to-end experience of users as they interact with a service, identifying touchpoints and pain points.
- Service Blueprinting and Process Design: Visualizing and designing the internal processes that support the delivery of a service, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
- Integration of Technology: Utilizing technologies like mobile apps, websites, AI, and IoT to enhance the customer experience and streamline service delivery.
Value Analysis
- Value analysis is a systematic approach used to evaluate products, services, or processes to identify opportunities for improvement while reducing costs.
- Principles Include: Maximizing value while minimizing costs, considering customer needs and functionality, and identifying non-value-adding components.
Designing Products for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)
- This design approach focuses on optimizing products for ease of manufacture and assembly.
- Key Elements: Minimizing assembly time, designing for error-proofing, minimizing manufacturing costs and complexities, and promoting continuous improvement.
Design for Logistics
- This design approach emphasizes optimizing products for efficient transportation and storage.
- Key Elements: Size and weight considerations, stackability and nesting, disassembly and flat packing, consideration of fragility, modular design, reverse logistics, and risk management.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
- QFD is a structured methodology used to translate customer requirements into specific product features.
- It helps align the design and production processes with customer needs.
- Stages Include: Identification of customer requirements, translation of customer requirements, deployment of requirements, and iterative improvement.
- QFD uses a structured approach to translate customer requirements into product features or technical characteristics.
