a result, operations should be deeply involved in new-product development. THE NPD process is often specified as having three phases: Concept development, Product Design and Pilot Production/Testing. Products should be designed from the start for manufacturability. This is done by considering design of the production process as part of product design and utilizing a concurrent engineering approach. Concurrent engineering, uses overlapping phases for product design rather than a sequential approach

experience, dwell upon it and evaluate it. As part of the assessment for ‘Service Design and Transformation module’, my group and I had to choose a service that needed change and help to redesign the service by applying approaches such as; Toyota Production System(TPS) , Plan Do Study Act(PDSA), Spaghetti and Value Stream mapping, as we have being taught in lectures. Aims and Objectives: This essay aims to give a reflective account of my contribution to the presentation; how my group and I planned

Definition Cellular production or cellular manufacturing is a lean method process, which eliminates set-up and unneeded cost. This is accomplished by using cells, group of team members, workstations, or equipment to produce similar products or services. The concept of cellular design is the use of group technology, placing people, tools and machines so that there is little change in processing or setup ("Cellular manufacturing," n.d.). Summary Cellular production or manufacturing is a layout

is known as “Just-in-Time” – JIT. JIT or also known as Lean Production named by John Krafcik, permits the production of only what is required, when it is needed, and only in the quality needed. This doesn’t only apply to the firm but also to the suppliers (Goetsch & Davis, 2012). The JIT concept was first called Toyota Production System which was initially developed by Taiichi Ohnoin the 1950s as the successor to Henry Ford mass production system. This concept was then developed and perfected

the customer e speed advantage. The TMC’s techniques are focussed operations that reduce complexity by using simple and small machines, which are robust and flexible. By rearranging layout and flow to enhance simplicity improves speed of production. On the coursework, statistics show that in the late 1980s, the output per worker was as much as two or three times
