Sa wakas, natapos din ang day 2 report for tomorrow (or later… nyahahaha!)

Here it is:

The Design of Goods and Services

(2^nd of 3 parts)

 

• Organizing For Product Development, four approaches:
  
  • First Approach: Traditional U.S. Approach
    
    • an organization with distinct departments: research and development department (for fact-finding/research); engineering department (to design the product); production department; etc.
      
  • Second Approach: Assigning A Product Manager
    
    • The assigned product manager is expected to "champion" the product through the product development system
      
  • Third Approach: Use of Teams
    
    • Teams are open and highly participative which is made up of people from various areas of production; such teams are known variously as product development teams, design for manufacturability teams, and value-engineering teams.
      
  • Fourth Approach: Japanese Style of Group Effort
    
    • The organization isn't subdivided into departments or teams; all the related activities are coincided within the organization
      
• Product Development Teams – teams charged with moving from market requirements for a product to achieve product success.
  
• Concurrent Engineering – the use of participating teams in design and engineering activities; it implies a team representing all affected areas
  

 

• Manufacturability and Value Engineering – activities that help improve a product's design, production, maintainability, and use. Besides to the obvious cost reduction, it produces other benefits, such as:
  
  • Reduced Complexity of the Product
    
  • Additional Standardization of Components
    
  • Improvement of Functional Aspects
    
  • Improved Job Design and Safety
    
  • Improved Maintainability of the Product
    
  • Robust Design
    

    
     

• Issues for Product Design: in addition to developing and effective system organization structure for product development, several techniques are important to the design of a product. Here are some of the methods to enhance product design:
  
  • Robust Design – this means that the product is designed so that small variations in production or assembly do not affect the product.
    
  • Modular Design – here, products are designed in easily segmented components/parts; this design offers flexibility to both production and marketing
    
  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD) – involves the use of computers to interactively design products and prepare engineering documentation
    
  • Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) – involves the use of computers (information technology) to control manufacturing machinery; when CAD information is translated into instructions for CAM, the result of these two technologies is CAD/CAM
    
    • The benefits of CAD and CAM include: (1)Product Quality; (2)Shorter Design Time; (3)Product Cost Reductions; (4)Database Availability; (5)New Range of Capabilities
      
  • Virtual Reality Technology – a visual form of communication in which their images substitute for reality and typically allow the user to respond interactively.
    
  • Ethics and Environmentally Friendly Designs – sensitivity to environmental issues in product design, manufacture, and disposal (Green Manufacturing)
    
    • Goals: (1) Developing safe and more environmentally sound products; (2) Minimizing waste of raw materials and energy; (3) Reducing environmental liabilities; (4) Increasing cost-effectiveness of complying with environmental regulation; (5) Being recognized as a good corporate citizen
      
    • Guidelines: (1)Make products recyclable; (2)Use recycled materials; (3)Use less harmful ingredients; (4)Use lighter components; (5)Use less energy; (6)Use less material
      

 

• Time-Based Competition – competition based on time; rapidly developing products and moving them to market
  
• Joint Ventures – firms establishing joint ownership to pursue new products or markets
  
• Alliances – cooperative agreements that allow firms to remain independent, but that pursue strategies consistent with their individual missions
  

…that's all, for now. HahahahA! :p

OMG, may quiz daw bukas sa AIS… buti nalang sinabi ni classmate sken. :D

Suddenly had the feeling of excitement ksi magrereport uli ako bukas… Hahaha… Type ko ksi yung isa kong classmate, hahahahhah! :D
