Product Design Process Selection

Description
This is a presentation describes the various processes for product design.It covers sequential design,product design and development,PLC etc.

PRODUCT DESIGN PROCESS SELECTION - Manufacturing

Structuring Operations

How do you structure your entire Operations ?
– No of Plants / Facilities – Plant/ Facility Sizes & their locations – Capacity of Plants – Choice of Equipment – Process Design / Technology – Work Force Measurement

Structuring Operations (Contd.)
• Process Planning forms the basis for » Plant Layout. » Selection of Equipment , M/Cs.

• Choice of Process Design decides Operation Strategy – e.g. Small Economic Batches, Make to order, Product Flexibility.
• Process Design and Product Design are Mutually compatible.

Factors affecting Process Design Decision
1. Nature of Demand » PV Relationship 2. Degree of Vertical Integration » More integration ? Risk of Capital Expense 3. Flexibility
– – Product Flexibility Volume Flexibility

(Multi Skills Labour, Quick change-over)

4. Degree of Automation.

Reasons For Product or Service Design
• Market opportunities and threats • Following changes gives rise to market opportunities and threats
– – – – – – Economic Social and demographic Political, liability, or legal Competitive Cost or availability Technological

Strategic Importance
• Products & service offerings must support the company’s business strategy by satisfying the target customers’ needs & preferences • If not, the company will lose its customer base and its market position will erode

PRODUCT DESIGN
• Product Design is a Team Exercise, involving : Marketing Manufacturing R&D, Finance Sales, Purchase

Product Life Cycle

• Concurrent Engineering Approach • Cross Functional Teams

Stages in a Product’s Life Cycle
• Introduction- Sales begin, production and marketing are developing, profits are negative. • Growth - sales grow dramatically, marketing efforts intensify, capacity is expanded, profits begin. • Maturity - production focuses on high-volume, efficiency, low costs; marketing focuses on competitive sales promotion; profits are at peak. • Decline - declining sales and profit; product might be dropped or replaced.

Design Concepts
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Product design & Process Design are the key product cost drivers Hence, take mfg process into account during DESIGN stage only. Design for Logistics (DFL) Product & Process Design approaches must help to control logistics cost and increase customer service levels.





How to make DFL ? Economic Packaging & Transportation ( IKEA furniture – DIY )
Concurrent & Parallel Processing: Components of Assy. Product to be physically separated for manufacturing parallely Standardization: Better forecasts possible for product family (rather than style). Hence standardize on product or process Design

How to shorten INTRODUCTION phase?

• Concurrent Engg. (CE)

• Cross Functional Teams (CFT) - Simultaneously developing Market concept,
Product Design, Mfg. Process & Product Support Structure.

The Learning Curve Effect
100
Cost/Time per repetition

90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 20 40 60 80 100 Number of repetitions (Volume) Cost

Types of Processes
• Conversion Iron ore + coal etc ? Ingredient ? • Fabrication Sheet metal Gold ? ? Steel Tooth Paste

Component Tooth Crown

• Assembly Different components ?

Car

• Testing Not a fundamental process, But as a stand alone activity

L. T.
Highly customer focused environment requiring Unique Design, Significant Customization

Types of Process Designs
• Product focused • Process Focused • Group Technology / Cellular Manufacture

Types of Process Design (Contd.)
Product focused Design
• Discrete Unit Manufacture : TV, Fridge • Process Industry: Cement, Paper, Steel. • Delivery of Services : Waiter in Restaurant
?Advantage: Low Unit Cost. Production.

High Volume

Types of Process Design (Contd.)
Process focused Design
( Car Paint Shop, Fee Collection Centre)

• For small batches of variety of products • G P M Set-up • Requires more Skilled Labor • Zig-Zag movement of product

Types of Process Design (Contd.)
Group Technology / Cellular Manufacture
• Consists of Cells. • Cell is the smallest work centre. • Each cell produces a limited range of products. • A Cell consists of dissimilar machines. • A Cell produces products / parts of similar characteristics.

Process Flow Structures
• Project. • Job Shop.

• Batch.
• Assembly Line. • Continuous Flow.

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Project
• Unique.
• Large-size. • Time Limit. • Interdependent Activities -PERT/CPM ( Road, Bridge, Dam, New Business Set-up)

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Job Shop.
• One time job.
• Small-size. • Time limit. • Every time fresh marketing, – So also Fabrication, Printing, Design, PCB .

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Batch Production
• Standardized & Relatively stable products, Multiple products from one shop

• Production capacity greater than demand.
• Suitable for high product variety & low volume • Flexibility more important than efficiency. • General purpose M/Cs used.

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Batch (Contd.)
• Disadvantages:
– Expensive – if volume is too large – Planning & Control – Complex. – Some idling of Resources. – Large W.I.P.

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Assembly Line
• Discrete part moving from worker to workers • Constantly Moving Conveyor. • Line Balancing, Low Skills, Low Unit Cost, • Managerial Control – Simple • Maintenance-Difficult & Complex .

Process Flow Structures (Contd.)
Assembly Line (Contd.) • Disadvantages1. Repetitive/Monotonous.
2. If breakdown – Total stoppage of work.

3. Bottleneck operation determines capacity.
4. Obsolescence cost becomes heavy.

Service Design
• Service is an act, created and delivered simultaneously • Service delivery system includes
– Facilities
– Processes – Skills

• Many services are bundled with products
