17
Q

Six phases of the generic product development process:

A
  1. Planning
  2. Concept Development
  3. System Level Design
  4. Detail Design
  5. Testing and Refinement
  6. Production Ramp-up
18
Q

Often referred to as phase zero in the product development process

A

Planning

19
Q

In this phase of the product development process, the needs of the target market are identified, alternative product concepts are generated and evaluated, and one or more concepts are selected for further development and testing.

A

Concept development

20
Q

This phase of the product development process includes the definition of the product architecture, decomposition of the product into subsystems and components, and the preliminary design of key components.

A

System-level design

21
Q

This phase of the product development process includes the complete specification of the geometry, materials, and tolerances of all of the unique parts in the product and the identification of all of the standard parts to be purchased from suppliers.

A

Detail Design

22
Q

This phase of the product development process involves the construction and evaluation of multiple preproduction versions of the product.

A

Testing and Refinement

23
Q

In this phase of the product development process, the product is made using the intended production system.

A

Production Ramp Up

24
Q

_______ prototypes are tested to determine whether the product will work as designed and whether the product satisfies customer needs. _______ prototypes are usually built with parts supplied by the intended production processes but may not be assembled using the final assembly process.

A

Alpha ; Beta

25
Q

An assessment of the project from both commercial and technical perspectives and is intended to identify ways to improve the development process for future projects.

A

Postlaunch project review

26
Q
