SPAN
• The cycle may vary from as little as 90 days, as in the case of “Krissh” products • Shortened PLC?s (computers) • As long as 100 or more years, as for gasoline-powered automobiles.
12

AMITY GLOBAL Why is Product BUSINESS SCHOOL

DevelopmentBangalore Important?
13

1. To satisfy consumers (Demand) - Product items, no matter how successful have a certain lifespan (product mortality) - Replacement products need to be constantly planned - True across all industries especially IT eg Microsoft?s new versions, Window?s XP, PS-2 etc)

• Computer simulation • Different groups of engrs design diff parts(plumbing, air circulation systems) • Software reads all files simultaneously; combines them 3 dimensionally; • Thus, designers of one system can check for design interference with other systems • Speeds up product development, reduces design and developmental cost
26

the design of existing products

Bangalore

• Modifying and improving existing products • Improve performance, quality and cost in order to maintain or improve mkt share of maturing products • For eg : At Toyota, improvements were made - Taillights hooked up with single connector instead of two; savings = $ 0.42 - Underside coated only where needed; savings= $2 Continuous design improvements (value analysis)

Process Selection – the development of the process necessary to produce the designed product

AMITY GLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

Bangalore

• Product design and process selection are directly linked • Type of product selected defines type of operation required • Type of operation available defines broader organizational aspects such as
– Equipment required – Facility arrangement – Organizational structure

Pros & Cons

Bangalore

• Advantages
– Greater product flexibility – More general purpose equipment – Lower initial capital investment
62

• Disadvantages
– More highly trained personnel – More difficult production planning & control – Low equipment utilization (5% to 25%)

AMITY GLOBAL Product Focussed BUSINESS SCHOOL

- RepetitiveBangalore / Discrete
63

• Facilities often organized by assembly lines • Characterized by modules
– Parts & assemblies made previously

• Modules combined for many output options • Other names
– Assembly line – Production line

AMITY GLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

• More structured than process-focused, less structured than product focused • Enables quasi-customization • Using modules, it enjoys economic advantage of continuous process, and custom advantage of low-volume, highvariety model • Example : autos, motorcycles - Harley Davidson

Mass Customization

Bangalore

• Using technology and imagination to rapidly mass-produce products that cater to sundry unique customer desires. • Under mass customization the three process models become so flexible that distinctions between them blur, making variety and volume issues less significant.
77

AMITY GLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

Cellular Bangalore Manufacturing / Group Technology
_ Parts with similar characteristics are grouped into part families
78

– Parts in a part family are typically made on the same machines with similar tooling – Each part produced receives a multi-digit code that describes the physical characteristics of the part.

AMITY GLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

Bangalore

– Some part families (those requiring significant batch sizes) can be assigned to manufacturing cells. – The organization of the shop floor into cells is referred to as cellular manufacturing. – Flow of parts within cells tend to be more like product-focused systems
