22. Functional Specification Stage Defines product in terms of how the product would meet desired attributes
Identifies product’s engineering characteristics
Example: printer noise (dB)
Prioritizes engineering characteristics
May rate product compared to competitors’ At this point we have to start adding precision to our specifications. If we want a product to be “easy to use,” what exactly does that mean? To use by whom? With what level of preparation? Etc.At this point we have to start adding precision to our specifications. If we want a product to be “easy to use,” what exactly does that mean? To use by whom?

reduced complexity of products
additional standardization of products
improved functional aspects of product
improved job design and job safety
improved maintainability of the product
robust design Manufacturability and value engineering encompass many issues. You may wish to stress the point that we consider in detail not only what the product is, but how it is to be produced and maintained - the best design is optimized across all these activities, not just one or another.

36. Robust Design Products are designed so that they may be manufactured uniformly and consistently despite adverse manufacturing and environmental conditions.
After discussing the concept of robust design, you might identify a product and ask students to identify the use of robust design in its production. (One example is the use of the plastic seal on the inside of soda bottle caps)After discussing the concept of robust design, you might identify a product and ask students to identify the use of robust design in its production. (One example is the use of the plastic seal on the inside of soda bottle caps)
37. Time-based Competition Product life cycles are becoming shorter.
? Faster developers of new products gain on slower developers and obtain a competitive advantage Ask the students to consider the effect of time-based competition not only on the producer, but also on the customer. Assume that you order two computers, through a catalog, directly from the factory. If you place one order today, and a second two days from now (for the same model, etc.), you may well receive two machines sufficiently different that the installation procedure for one will not work on the second. The producer has to deal with the issue of producing a constantly evolving product, but you also have to manage the problem created by the increasingly short and perhaps in a sense, artificial, product lifetimes.Ask the students to consider the effect of time-based competition not only on the producer, but also on the customer.

38. Modular Design Products designed in easily segmented components known as modular designs
Adds flexibility to both production and marketing
Examples:
Airbus – wings
Fast food – buns, vegetables, etc.
Dell computer Ask your students to suggest examples of products that are produced in modular fashion. Certainly microcomputers provide a good example; also cars, motorcycles, and hamburgers.Ask your students to suggest examples of products that are produced in modular fashion.

41. Virtual Reality Computer technology used to develop an interactive, 3-D model of a product
Especially helpful in design of layouts (e.g. factory, store, home, office, etc.)
42. Value Analysis Focuses on design improvement during production
Seeks improvements leading either to a better product or a product which can be more economically produced You might suggest that your students view value analysis as value engineering during, rather than prior to, production. Value analysis helps continually improve both design and production methodology.You might suggest that your students view value analysis as value engineering during, rather than prior to, production.

50. Bill of Material Example Remind students that the Bill of Material indicates all parts or kits required to assemble a unit of the product and that bills of materials at multiple levels are required to fully specify each and every individual part contained in the finished unit. (The bill of material portrayed on the slide specifies a “frame assembly,” but does not tell us what pieces are required to produce the assembly. This information would be contained in a lower level bill of materials.)Remind students that the Bill of Material indicates all parts or kits required to assemble a unit of the product and that bills of materials at multiple levels are required to fully specify each and every individual part contained in the finished unit.

52. Make-or-Buy Decisions Decide whether or not you want (or need) to produce an item
May be able to purchase the item as a “standard item” from another manufacturer At this point, one can raise the arguments for producing in-house versus purchasing. It might be useful in this instance to look both at manufacturing and services.
Useful examples can be developed from:
- the publishing industry where the publisher may perform the editing and project management, but contract virtually everything else out;
- the role of production in house versus that of purchasing services outside in developing a distance education program, or staffing a hospital;
- the procedure followed in the development of the Microsoft Windows 97 operating system, versus that for the Linux operating system.
You might also ask your students to consider the relationship between the make-or-buy decision and the concept of the virtual organization.At this point, one can raise the arguments for producing in-house versus purchasing.

66. Decision Trees & Product Design Particularly useful when there are a series of decisions and outcomes which lead to other decisions and outcomes.
Considerations:
Include all possible alternatives and states of nature - including “doing nothing”
Enter payoffs at end of each branch
Approach determining expected values by backward induction & “pruning” tree

67. Transition to Production First issue: knowing when to move to production
Second issue: must view product development as evolutionary, not the responsibility of single individual or department
Third issue: expect to need a trial production period to work the bugs out
Fourth issue: recognize that responsibility must also transition This slide introduces the problem of transitioning a product from design and development to production. It would probably be helpful to use this slide as the basis for a discussion of each of the issues. Points to be made might include:
- the point in time at which to transition must be chosen by consensus of both design/development and production staff
- while we should view product development as evolutionary, we may be required to view the transition as iterative - where, as unforeseen problems develop in production, design changes may be required.
- product design/development teams must expect to contribute to problem solving in production
- product design/development staff must recognize that once the transition to production has taken place, the main responsibility for the project has also shiftedThis slide introduces the problem of transitioning a product from design and development to production.
