Study Notes
- The text discusses the importance of a well-defined product design specification (PDS) in the product development process.
- PDS is a document that defines the overall product requirements and customer design requirements.
- It serves as the foundation upon which the rest of the design process is built.
- Market research is conducted to gather information about customer needs and preferences before creating a PDS.
- PDS should reflect the facts discovered during market research, be specific and clear, and include realistic design constraints and targets.
- Kano model is a method for analyzing customer needs and determining new product requirements.
- The model classifies customer needs into five categories: basic needs, performance needs, excitement needs, indifferent needs, and reverse performance needs.
- Basic needs are must-haves, performance needs are things where more is often better, excitement needs are wow factors, indifferent needs don't impact satisfaction, and reverse performance needs are things where more is not often better.
- The text explains how each category of needs affects customer satisfaction with examples.
- To use the Kano model, identify customers, product functions and features, develop a questionnaire, test and administer it, analyze the results, and decide how to act on them.
