Product and Service Design Flashcards
What are the major factors in design strategy?
Cost, Quality, Time-to-market, Customer satisfaction, competitive advantage
What is the main focus of product and design strategy?
Customer satisfaction
Stages of Life cycle
Introduction, growth, maturity, decline
It refers to the extent to which there is an absence of variety in a product, service or process.
Standardization
The ff are advantages of standardization, except
a. Fewer parts to deal with in
inventory and in manufacturing.
b. Reduced training costs and time.
c. Designs may be frozen with too many imperfections remaining.
d. More routine purchasing, handling,
and inspection procedures.
C. Designs may be frozen with too many imperfections remaining.
Producing, but not quite completing, a product or service until customer preferences are known
Delayed differentiation
A form of standardization in which component parts are grouped into modules that are easily replaced or interchanged
Modular Design
Is a measure of the ability of a product, a part, a service or an entire system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of conditions
Reliability
situation in which a product, part or system does not perform as intended
Failure
True or False. Reliability can be improved with the use of backups
True
A design that results in product or service that can function over a range of conditions
Robust design
It is often easier to design a product that is insensitive to environmental factors, either in manufacturing or in use, than to control the environmental factors.
Taguchi’s Approach
Taguchi’s Approach central feature
Parameter design
The ff are difficulties of concurrent engineering except:
a. Longstanding existing boundaries between design and manufacturing can be difficult to overcome
b. There must be extra communication and flexibility
c. Early consideration of the technical feasibility of a particular design
c. Early consideration of the technical feasibility of a particular design
Uses computer graphics for product design
Computer-Aided Design
True or False. Creation of a database for manufacturing that can supply needed information on product geometry and dimensions.
True
Used to indicate the designing of products that are compatible with the organization’s capabilities.
Design for Manufacturing
Design focuses on reducing the number of parts in an assembly as well as on assembly methods and sequence
Design for Assembly
Recovering materials for future use
Recycling
Design facilitates the recovery of materials and components in used products for reuse
Design for Recycling
Reasons why companies recycle
Cost saving, environmental concerns, environmental regulations
Refurbishing used products by replacing worn-out or defective components and reselling the products
Remanufacturing
True or False. Remanufactured product can be sold for about 60% of the cost of a new product
False
50%*
True or False. “Increased opportunity for savings by buying in bulk from suppliers” is a benefit of concurrent engineering
False
benefit of component commonality*
