    Product Design Strategies

    Design a Product accordingto the market needs and then,

    try to adapt the processes

    Design products accordingto the limits of our processes and

    then, find a market

    Sell what the

    market wants

    Sell only what

    we can make

    Find the right balance : a simultaneous evolution of products and processes,

    taking into account the needs of the market and distinctive competencies.

    Product DesignDesign for manufacturing (DFM) is design based on minimizing the cost of production

    and/or time to market for a product, while maintaining an appropriate level of quality. The

    strategy in DFM involves minimizing the number of parts in a product and selecting the

    appropriate manufacturing process.Design For Assembly (DFA) involves making attachment directions and methods simpler.

    "Design for recycling is a method that implies the following requirements of a product: easy

    to dismantle, easy to obtain 'clean' material-fractions, that can be recycled (e.g. iron and

    copper should be easy to separate), easy to remove parts/components, that must be treated

    separately, use as few different materials as possible, mark the materials/polymers in order

    to sort them correct, avoid surface treatment in order to keep the materials 'clean'.

    Design for disassembly(DFD) involves designing a product to be disassembled for easier

    maintenance, repair,

    recovery and reuse of components/materials

    Remanufacturing is the process of disassembly and recovery at the module level and,

    eventually, at the component level. It requires the repair or replacement of worn out

    or obsolete components and modules

    Robust product design is a concept from the teachings of Dr. Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese

    quality guru. It is defined as reducing variation in a product without eliminating the causes of

    the variation. In other words, making the product or process insensitive to variation. This

    variation (sometimes called noise) can come from a variety of factors and can be classifiedinto three main types: internal variation, external variation, and unit to unit variation.

    Product Design Process

    Simplification

    reducing number ofparts, assemblies, or

    options in a product

    Standardization

    using commonly

    available and

    interchangeable

    parts

    Modularity

    combiningstandardized

    building blocks, or

    modules, to create

    unique finished

    products

    A prototype is an

    early sample or

    model built to test aconcept or process or

    to act as a thing to be

    replicated or learned

    from.Engineering is the discipline, art, skill,

    profession and technology of acquiring and

    applyingscientific, mathematical, economic,

    social, and practical knowledge, in order to

    design and build structures, machines,

    devices, systems, materials and processes

    Production Design Strategies1. Simplification Design

    Reducing number of parts, assemblies, or options in a product

    2. Standardization Design using commonly available and interchangeable parts

    3. Modularity Design

    Modular design is a form of standardization in which component parts aresubdivided into modules that are easily replaced or interchanged.

    4. Robust Design

    Design that results in products or services that can function over a broad rangeof conditions

    5. Concurrent Engineering

    Concurrent engineering is bringing together of engineering design andmanufacturing personnel early in the design phase

    6. Computer-Aided Design Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is product design using computer graphics.

    increases productivity of designers, 3 to 10 times

    2. Standardization

    Fewer parts to deal with

    in inventory &

    manufacturing

    Reduced training costs

    and time

    More routine purchasing,

    handling, and inspection

    procedures

    Orders fillable from

    inventory

    Opportunities for long

    production runs and

    automation

    Need for fewer parts

    justifies increased

    expenditures on

    perfecting designs and

    improving quality control

    procedures.

    Advantages: Difficult to develop

    a product that

    must satisfy theneed of many

    different

    customers.

    Designs may be

    frozen with toomany

    imperfections

    remaining.

    High cost of design

    changes increases

    resistance to

    improvements.

    Decreased variety

    results in less

    consumer appeal.

    3. Modular Design Modular design is a form of

    standardization in which

    component parts are

    subdivided into modulesthat are easily replaced or

    interchanged.

    It allows:

    easier diagnosis and

    remedy of failures

    easier repair and

    replacement

    simplification of

    manufacturing and

    assembly Lower training costs

    Capacity/Facility Planning

    How much and what kind of physical equipment is needed to support

    production goals?

    Issues:

    Basic Capacity Calculations: stand-alone capacities and congestion

    effects (e.g., blocking)

    Capacity Strategy: lead or follow demand

    Make-or-Buy: vendoring, long-term identity

    Flexibility: with regard to product, volume, mix

    Speed: scalability, learning curves

    Capacity Planning

  • 7/28/2019 Unit II - Prod. Mgt. 2a

    41/67

    Capacity PlanningCapacity is the upper limit or ceiling on the load that an operating unit can handle.

    Capacity also includes

    Equipment

    Space Employee skills

    The basic questions in capacity handling are:

    What kind of capacity is needed?

    How much is needed?

    When is it needed?

    Importance of Capacity Decisions

    1. Impacts ability to meet future demands2. Affects operating costs3. Major determinant of initial costs4. Involves long-term commitment5. Affects competitiveness6. Affects ease of management7. Globalization adds complexity

    8. Impacts long range planning

    Capacity

    Design capacity

    maximum output rate or servicecapacity an operation, process, or

    facility is designed for

    Effective capacity

    Design capacity minus allowances

    such as personal time,

    maintenance, and scrap

    Actual output

    rate of output actually achieved--

    cannot

    exceed effective capacity.

    Both measures expressed as percentages

  • 7/28/2019 Unit II - Prod. Mgt. 2a

    43/67

    Efficiency/Utilization Example

    Actual output = 36 units/day

    Efficiency = = 90%Effective capacity 40 units/ day

    Utilization = Actual output = 36 units/day= 72%

    Design capacity 50 units/day

    Making Location Decisions

    Analysis should follow 3 step process:

    Step 1: Identify dominant location factors

    Step 2: Develop location alternatives Step 3: Evaluate locations alternatives

    Procedures for evaluation location alternatives include

    1. Factor rating method

    2. Load-distance model

    3. Center of gravity approach

    4. Break-even analysis

    5. Transportation method

    1. Factor Rating Example

    2 Load Distance Method

  • 7/28/2019 Unit II - Prod. Mgt. 2a

    63/67

    The load-distance method enables a location planner to evaluate two or potential

    candidates.

    Choosing the location with best load-distance among these will satisfy the objective of

    identifying an appropriate location for the proposed facility.

    Distance is measured using an appropriate location for the proposed facility.

    Distance is measured using a Cartesian measure.

    Let us use the following notations for the load-distance method:

    The number existing demand (or supply ) points in the grip map= nIndex used for existing demand ( or supply ) = 1

    Coordinates of existing demand ( or supply ) points I in the grid map=( Xj, Yj)

    The distance measure for the Cartesian coordinates between an existing demand ( or

    supply) points and a candidate facility (Dij) is given by:

    Dij = sqrt((xi

    Xj)2

    + (yi

    Yj)2

    )

    3. The Center of Gravity Approach

    This approach requires that the analyst find the center of gravity of thegeographic area being considered

    4 Break-Even Analysis

  • 7/28/2019 Unit II - Prod. Mgt. 2a

    65/67

    4. Break-Even Analysis Break-even analysis computes the amount of goods required to be sold to just cover

    costs

    Break-even analysis includes fixed and variable costs

    Break-even analysis can be used for location analysis especially when the costs of eachlocation are known

    Step 1: For each location, determine the fixed and variable costs

    Step 2: Plot the total costs for each location on one graph

    Step 3: Identify ranges of output for which each location has the lowest total cost

    Step 4: Solve algebraically for the break-even point over the identified ranges

    Remember the break even equations used for calculation total cost of each locationand for calculating the breakeven quantity Q.

    Total cost = F + cQ Total revenue = pQ

    Break-even is where Total Revenue = Total CostQ = F/(p-c)

    Q = break-even quantityp = price/unitc = variable cost/unit

    F = fixed cost

    5. The Transportation Method

  • 7/28/2019 Unit II - Prod. Mgt. 2a

    66/67

    p

    The transportation method of linear programming can be used to solve specificlocation problems

    It could be used to evaluate the cost impact of adding potential location sites to the

    network of existing facilities It could also be used to evaluate adding multiple new sites or completely redesigning

    the network

    There is a unit transportation cost of shipping material from every supply point toevery demand point, by an optimal choice of supply points, the total cost oftransportation is minimized.

    6. Qualitative factor analysis method: If economic criteria are not sufficiently influential to decide the location

    alternative, a system of weighting the criteria might be useful in making a plantlocation decision.

    This approach is referred to as Qualitative Factor Analysis. The steps involvedare:

    Develop a list of relevant factors.

    Assign a weight to each factor to indicate its relative importance.

    Score each potential location according to the designated scale and multiply thescores by the weights to arrive at the weighted scores.
