...The Design Process The design process is the transformation of an idea, needs, or wants by consumers or the marketplace at large, into a product that satisfies these needs. This is usually accomplished by adventurous people that are willing to take it on. Sometimes an engineer will be involved on some levels but not always. Design is basically a problem solving exercise. The design of a new product consists of the following stages: Design Brief Product Design Specifications Concept Design Testing Detail Design Manufacturing and Further Testing Refinement and Sales The development of a new product may also require the development of a prototype to prove that new technologies work before committing resources to full-scale manufacture. We can assist you with some of the prototype design if you need this help. If you do desire to develop a prototype you should have the product tested by as many people as you can possibly work with. Be sure to have a non-disclosure agreement with people that you are unsure of. You may need to contact an attorney for the best protection. The traditional view of the design to manufacture process is that it is a sequential process; the outcome of one stage is passed on to the next stage. This tends to lead to iteration in the design. I.e. having to go back to an earlier stage to correct mistakes. This can make products more expensive and delivered to the marketplace late. A better approach is for the designer to consider the stages following...

...functions in-house. Companies that specialize in manufacturing products for other companies have become very successful. These companies are called contract manufacturers and they have become successful in industries such as electronic products, clothing, drug, plastics, and custom manufacturing. A simple definition of a contract manufacturer is an organization capable of manufacturing and/ or purchasing all the components needed to produce a finished product or device. The use of contract manufacturers has dramatically changed the way traditional manufacturer companies now operate. Depending on the situation, contract manufacturers will take various roles for a company. Similar to the outsourcing of manufacturing, many companies outsource the product design function. Product design differs significantly depending on the industry. For consumer products, understanding consumer preferences and market testing prospective products are very important activities. For pharmaceuticals, extensive clinical test are often required that involve carefully controlled experiments to test both the safety and the effectiveness of a potential product. Companies that specialize in the design of products have highly developed processes to support the activities needed for an industry. Given the potential advantages of using contract manufacturers for producing products and specialized design firms for designing their products, a firm must decide what their core competency should be. A company’s...

...Social and moral issues in product design A social problem is an undesirable condition that people believe should be corrected. A moral issue is concerned with the principles of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong, so concerning ethical issues. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/moral) Both social and moral issues affect product design from the beginning of the process of designing and making the final product. The designer begins by conducting some market research on the public to find out what local people want to buy, as this would be unwise to design and to produce a product that no one will want to buy. This market research can be carried out by interviews/questionnaires and is used to gather people’s views on the products they like, the functions and features they require and the amount they would be prepared to pay. The designer does not just think about the way that the product will work. They also will consider how it will be made and how it will be used. This means that the designer has to be very aware of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable to society. Most people would prefer the products they want to be low cost and good quality. One-way of reducing the manufacturing costs is using computer controlled machines or robots to make the products. A negative effect of this is that fewer people are employed. A positive effect is that computer-controlled systems create jobs for highly skilled workers to develop,...

...model of relations between job design (eg: completeness, demand of responsibility, demand of cooperation, cognitive demand, and learning opportunities) and the reflexivity and learning process within natural group works in industry. The methodology used in this research are based on the detailed task analyses and questionnaires from 40 work groups at the shop-floor level in manufacturing industry in Sweden. From this research, it is found that in a group work, reflexivity and learning processes is strongly affected by job design and work routines. The four dimensions on job design which are completeness, demand of cooperation, cognitive demand and learning opportunities has positively related with reflexivity and learning process. Job design also correlates with social routines and social routines with work routines. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sweden is a country where the group forms of working in industry is well established and has a strong tendency to emerge in order to reorganize into conventional line-production. The researchers before concluded that work in partly autonomous groups in industry leads to an increase in productivity but this does not convince managers that the investment in group-work is worthwhile. Learning in groups, and related effects such as innovation and work development requires group processes characterized by reflexivity and learning. 2.0 REVIEW OF LITERATURES 2.1 Effects of Group Work in Industry Job design, interdependence, group composition...
