The commercial success of a manufacturing firm depends upon its ability to
identify the needs of the customers and to quickly create products that satisfy
these needs and these products can be produced effective, efficiently and
economically. To meet these goals, it requires the contributions of various
different functions, including marketing, design, manufacturing, etc. in a
multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach. Product design and
development will be such a subject to provide for an overview of this approach
and describe the functional requirements that make this approach successful.
Covered within this subject are the need for and what is a multi-disciplinary,
cross-functional approach, the product development processes, the various
product development strategies, e.g. total design approach, functional
approach, etc., needs finding and identifications, establishing product
specifications, generation of ideas and concepts, concepts evaluation and
selection, product architecture, product aesthetics, form creation, semantics
and languages, and corporate and product identity.
