chap 4 Flashcards
4 Elements of product design
- Product approval committee
- Core team
- Phase review / Stage gate
- Structure dvt process
Escalator Effect
Increasing the cost of change with each phase
What are the 5 phases of product design process
Concurrent engeneering
Team based approach of simultaneously designing the product and process
Sources of idea for new ar redisign product
- Front line employee
- Suppliers
- Customers + Marketing
- Competitors
- R&D
list the 11 Key issues in product design
- Life cycle
- Standardization
- design for mass customization
- Reliability
- Robust design
- Legal + ethical issues
- design for environment
- concurrent engeneering
- Computer aided design (CAD)
- Design for manufacturing and assenbly
- Componant commonality
Life cycle
Incubation
Growth
Mturity
Saturation
Decline
Define Standardization and list the 3 advantages and 2 desadvantages
The extent to which there is absence of variety in a part or a product.
Mass Customization
A strategy of producing standerdized goods or services but incorporating some degree of customization in the final product. Can use delayed differenciation or modular design
Delayes differenciation
Producing but not completing a product until customer preferences or specifications are known
Modular Design
Grouping of parts into modules that are easily interchanged or replaced
Reliability
The ability of a product, part or system to perform its intended function under normal conditions
Failure
Situation in which a product, part or system does not perform as intended
Robust Design
Design that can function over a broad range of conditions. Less likely to fail due to change in comditions
Legal & Ethical issues
- Food and drugs act
- Environmental protection Act
- Motor vehicle safety act
- Hazardous product Act
definition of Product Liability
A manufacturer is liable for any injuries or damage caused by a faulty product
When designing for the environment, what are the 3 R’s
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Remanufacturing
Refurbishing used products by replacing worn-out or defective components, and reselling the products
Design for disassenbly
Design so that used product can be easily taken apart
Recycling
Recovering material for future use
Concurrent Engeneering
Bringing engineering design, manufacturing engineers, and staff from marketing, manufacturing, and purchasing together early in the design phase. Opposed to “throw over the wall approach”
Adventages of simultaneous design
- identify product capabilities
- Reduce time of procurement
Design for manufacturing
Take in account the manufacturing capabilities of an organization when designing a product
Design for assembly
Focuses on reducing the number of parts + Assembly methodes and sequences
Quality Function Deployment
A structured approach for integrating the “voice of the customer” into product design
Designing a service
What are the 7 possible strategies to improve a product’s reliability
