4-2 Product and Service Design

Product Design

Product Design : Arrangement of elements or parts that collectively form a product.

Form Design : Appearance , aesthetics , dimensions and volume. Functional Design: Performance of the product.

4-3 Product and Service Design

Product and Service Design

Major factors in design strategy

Cost Quality Time-to-market Customer satisfaction Competitive advantage


Product and service design or redesign should be closely tied to an organizations strategy

4-4 Product and Service Design

Reasons for Product or Service Design


Competition Social and demographic Profits / Growth Technological Reasons

4-5 Product and Service Design

Objectives of Product and Service Design


Main focus

Customer satisfaction

Secondary focus

Function of product/service Cost/profit Quality Appearance Ease of production/assembly Ease of maintenance/service

4-6 Product and Service Design

Characteristics of a Good Product Design

Function or Performance. Appearance or Aesthetics Reliability Maintainability Simplification Specifications Safety

4-7 Product and Service Design

Approaches to a Product Design

Designing for the customer. Designing for Manufacture and Assembly(DFMA) Designing for ease of Manufacturability. Designing for Quality Designing for ergonomics Designing for Environmental Protection Design for Recycling Design for Disassembly(DFD) Design for Mass Customisation

Introduction

4-10 Product and Service Design

Standardization

Standardization

Extent to which there is an absence of variety in a product, service or process

Standardized products are immediately available to customers

4-11 Product and Service Design

Advantages of Standardization

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

4-12 Product and Service Design

Advantages of Standardization (Contd)


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.

4-13 Product and Service Design

Mass Customization

Mass customization:

A strategy of producing standardized goods or services, but incorporating some degree degree of customization Delayed differentiation Modular design

4-14 Product and Service Design

Delayed Differentiation

Delayed differentiation is a postponement tactic

Producing but not quite completing a product or service until customer preferences or specifications are known

4-15 Product and Service Design

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

4-18 Product and Service Design

Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is the dismantling and inspecting of a competitors product to discover product improvements.

4-19 Product and Service Design

Manufacturability

Manufacturability is the ease of fabrication and/or assembly which is important for:


Cost Productivity Quality

4-20 Product and Service Design

Concurrent Engineering

Concurrent engineering is the bringing together of engineering design and manufacturing personnel early in the design phase.

4-21 Product and Service Design

Computer-Aided Design

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is product design using computer graphics.

increases productivity of designers, 3 to 10 times


creates a database for manufacturing information on product specifications provides possibility of engineering and cost analysis on proposed designs

4-22 Product and Service Design

Service Design

Service is an act Service delivery system

Facilities Processes Skills

Many services are bundled with products

4-23 Product and Service Design

Service Design

Service design involves

The physical resources needed The goods that are purchased or consumed by the customer Explicit services Implicit services

4-24 Product and Service Design

Service Design

Service

Something that is done to or for a customer

Service delivery system

The facilities, processes, and skills needed to provide a service The combination of goods and services provided to a customer The physical resources needed to perform the service

Product bundle

Service package

4-25 Product and Service Design

Differences Between Product and Service Design

Tangible intangible Services created and delivered at the same time Services cannot be inventoried Services highly visible to customers Services have low barrier to entry Location important to service
