21
Q

What are advantages of core competency?

A
  1. Provides potential access to a wide variety of markets
  2. Increases perceived customer benefits
  3. Hard for competitors to imitate
22
Q

What is codevelopment?

A

Joint ownership of the new product or design

23
Q

What are risks of codevelopment?

A

Less control over intellectual property

24
Q

What is concurrent design?

A

More development dollars. Less production and sales support dollars. Earlier market introduction

25
Q

What is Voice of the Customer (VOC)?

A

Gather input on customer’s needs and wants through:
– Beta testing (prototype versions)
– Focus groups
– Customer interviews & surveys

26
Q

What is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)?

A

Process that helps a company determine the product/service characteristics important to the consumer and evaluate it’s own product/service in relation to competitors

27
Q

What is a House of Quality?

A

A matrix that helps translate customer
requirements into operational and engineering goals

28
Q

What is value enginerring?

A

To achieve equivalent or better performance at a lower cost while maintaining all functional requirements defined by the customer

29
Q

What questions does value engineering include?

A

– Does the item have any design features that are not necessary?
– Can the function be provided in some other way?
– Can the product be simplified or standardized?
– What changes will reduce costs or speedup production?

30
Q

What are examples of design-enabling technologies?

A

Computer‐aided Design (CAD) or Engineering (CAE), 3D Printing, and Product Life Cycle Management (PLM)

31
Q

What is Computer‐aided Design (CAD) or Engineering (CAE)?

A

Automating systems for drawings and 3‐D models

32
Q

What allows for rapid prototyping, lower cost early products, and more intricate designs?

A

3D printing

33
Q

What is Product Life Cycle Management (PLM)?

A

Capturing and sharing product definition data across the life cycle

34
Q

What is a major way in which a service differs from a product?

A

A service focuses almost exclusively on customer interaction

35
Q

Customer interaction is highly _____ with services?

A

Variable

36
Q

What is time to market (TTM)?

A

– Frequency of new product/process introductions
– Time from concept to delivery
– Actual vs. Plan (AVP)

b) Design for Product Serviceability
c) Design for Six Sigma

38
Q

What is design for assembly?

A

Minimizing number of components and easing assembly processes

39
Q

What is design for product serviceability?

A

Easing disassembly, component reuse, and ease of access

40
Q

What is design for six sigma?

A

Improving process consistency

41
Q

What is Minimizing detrimental environmental impacts, across entire product life cycle (cradle‐to‐grave)?

A

Design for environment (ecodesign)

Phase 4: Testing and Refinement
Phase 5: Production Ramp‐Up

44
Q

True or false: Concept development is one of the typical phases of product development?

A

TRUE. The process begins with a planning phase, which is the link to advanced research and technology development activities. The output of the planning phase is the project’s mission statement, which is the input required to begin the concept development phase
