OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

GROUP 3

Phases in Product Development Process


1. Idea Generation
-An idea generation (or ideation) is the process of gathering information and creative insights in order to
generate new product ideas. By getting it right, you're laying a solid foundation for your new product concept
and putting it on the right track to success.
Ex.
2. Feasibility Analysis
-A feasibility analysis is used to determine an idea's viability, such as ensuring that a project is legally,
technically, and economically feasible. It indicates whether a project is worthwhile.
Ex.
3. Product Specification
- A product specification (also known as "product specs") is a document that contains a list of requirements
that product teams can use to build out new features or functionality.
Ex.
4. Process Specifications
- A process specification is a method for documenting, analyzing, and explaining the decision-making logic
and formulas that are used to generate output data from process input data. Its goal is to specify and flow
down regulatory/engineering requirements and procedures.
Ex.
5. Prototype Development
-A prototype development refers to the process of creating a working replica of a product. To gain a market
share, a company must have a product that is ready to meet market standards as well as the needs of its
customers.
Ex.
6. Design Review
- A design review is a stage in the product development process in which you evaluate a product design
against specific criteria. Before implementation, the design review phase may reveal flaws in the current design
or prototype.
Ex.

7. Market test
-A market testing focuses on how a product might perform in a market environment rather than the product's
structure or effectiveness.
Ex.
8. Product Introduction
-A product introduction is a marketing technique used to boost sales. The sales or marketing division of a
company is usually in charge of this process, which begins when a product has completed testing or has been
authorized for sale.
Ex.
9. Follow-up Evaluation
-A product evaluations will help you stay ahead of the competition by providing you with data and knowledge
about your customers' needs. Knowledge is required whether you work in product development, technical
support, sales, or marketing.
Ex.

Reverse Engineering
- is the dismantling and inspecting of a competitor’s product to discover product improvement.
Ex.

Research and Development (R&D)


• Organized efforts to increase scientific knowledge or product innovation and may involve:
*Basic Research
- advances knowledge about a subject without near-term expectations of commercial applications.
*Applied Research
- achieves commercial applications.
*Development
-converts results of applied research into commercial applications.
Manufacturability
- is the ease of fabrication and/or assembly which is important for:
1. Cost
2. Productivity
3. Quality

Beyond the overall objective to achieve customer satisfaction while making a reasonable profit is:
Design for Manufacturing(DFM)
- The designers’ consideration of the organization’s manufacturing capabilities when designing a product.
The more general term design for operations encompasses services as well as manufacturing.

Product design
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Design for Assembly (DFA)
- It simplifies the product's structure by reducing the number of components and minimizing the number of
assembly operations required. The aim is to make the manufacturing process easier, faster and more
consistent, therefore more productive.
• Design for Recycling (DFR)
- It focuses on material selection and recycling rates. It also emphasizes the importance of repurposing
used materials to create new goods.
• Remanufacturing
- Is the rebuilding of a product to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of
reused, repaired and new parts. It requires the repair or replacement of worn out or obsolete components and
modules.
• Design for Disassembly (DFD)
- Is a building design method that makes it possible to easily recover products, parts, and materials when a
structure is disassembled or restored.
• Robust Design
- Is a technique that lowers variation in a product by minimizing the sensitivity of the product's design to
sources of variation rather than regulating their sources.
Recycling
- recovering materials for future use.
• Recycling reasons:
* Cost Savings
* Environment Concerns
* Environment Regulations
