Identification (Chap 5) Flashcards
The selection, definition, and
design of products.
Product decision
A list of products, in descending
order of their individual dollar
contribution to the firm, as well as
the total annual dollar contribution
of the product.
Product-by-value analysis
A part of the quality function
deployment process that utilizes a
planning matrix to relate customer
“wants” to “how” the firm is going
to meet those “wants.
House of quality
Simultaneous performance of
the various stages of product
development
Concurrent engineering
Teams charged with moving from
market requirements for a product
to achieving product success.
Product development teams
Activities that help improve a
product’s design, production,
maintainability, and use.
Manufacturability and value
engineering
A standard that provides a format
allowing the electronic transmission of three-dimensional data.
Standard for the exchange of
product data (STEP)
A design in which parts or
components of a product are
subdivided into modules that are
easily interchanged or replaced
Modular design
A list of the hierarchy of components, their description, and the
quantity of each required to make
one unit of a product.
Bill of Material
Cooperative agreements that allow
firms to remain independent, but
pursue strategies consistent with
their individual missions.
Alliances
A product and component coding
system that specifies the size,
shape, and type of processing;
it allows similar products to be
grouped.
Group technology
Software programs that tie
together many phases of product
design and manufacture.
Product life-cycle
management (PLM)
A graphic means of identifying
how components flow into subassemblies and final products.
Assembly chart
Is critical
to achieving competitive
advantage
Product strategy
A design that can be produced to
requirements even with unfavorable conditions in the production
process.
Robust design
