Product and Service Design

Typical Phases of Product Development

• Planning

• Concept Development

• System-Level design

• Design Detail

• Testing and Refinement

• Production Ramp-up

4-2

Economic Analysis of Project Development Costs

• Using measurable factors to help determine:– Operational design and development

decisions– Go/no-go milestones

• Building a Base-Case Financial Model– A financial model consisting of major

cash flows– Sensitivity Analysis for “what if” questions

Designing for the Customer: Value Analysis/Value Engineering

• Achieve equivalent or better performance at a lower cost while maintaining all functional requirements defined by the customer– Does the item have any design

features that are not necessary?– Can two or more parts be combined

into one?– How can we cut down the weight?– Are there nonstandard parts that

can be eliminated?

Design for Manufacturability

• Traditional Approach– “We design it, you build it” or “Over the

wall”

• Concurrent Engineering– “Let’s work together simultaneously”
