Modelling and implementation of product development strategy

The decision production system perspective represents a product development organization as a network of decision-makers and information processors through which information flows. This representation can be used to improve product development processes by providing a deeper understanding of information flows and key decisions. This paper reviews the decision production system approach and provides an example of its use to improve product development.

Due to the increase of the products offered in the market and the reduction of the time of their life, Product Development Process (PDP) is considered a business process that become increasingly important for the competitiveness of companies. Products must be managed in order to quickly enter the market, better meet customer needs, are easier to manufacture, are attractive in the market and ensure a profit for the company. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the main incentives for the development of new products in the food industry are related to the development and incorporation of technological innovation. Nowadays, PDP evolution is mainly due to concerns of industries to improve their economic performance, and at the same time increasing the quality of their products and meets the requirements of consumers. Although there are studies that seek to standardize the development of food products, implementation of PDP models is very new. This paper aims to analyze methods developed by different authors about the PDP oriented to food industry and make a comparison with the general model proposed by Rozenfeld et al. [9]. Among current models are the following: Fuller [5], Rudolph [6], Earle [4], Polignano and Drumond [7] and Penso [8]. These authors state sequences of structured phases that facilitate the understanding and implementation of a new product development in food industry.

Good decision-making is founded on good information. Information technology supporting product lifecycle management ought to provide a high degree of information cohesion and traceability -knowledge of the interrelations among data, and basis for belief. Providing cohesion and traceability is made difficult by differences in viewpoint and ontology employed by the various disciplines and organizations involved in the product lifecycle. This paper describes an analysis of cohesion and tracability into its constitutents properties. The paper suggests that process-aware integration schema can improve the cohesion and traceability among product data.

Process planning knowledge (PPK) is one of the most important knowledge in production manufacturing enterprise. This paper analyzes the PPK and the concept of process planning information model (PPIM) implemented in production enterprise. In second part of the paper, there is done the basic information about PLM concept as a business strategy for product development where are included PPK and PPIM approaches, strategy which offer possibilities for innovation. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the process of managing the whole life cycle of a product starting from generating an idea, concept description, business analyzes, product design, solution architecture and technical implementation, to the successful entrance to the market, service, maintenance and innovative product improvement.

Process modeling is a set of activities to be followed to create one or more models of a process for a certain purpose. Some modeling methods are more suitable for a given purpose than others, an essential fact to remember when choosing a modeling method. Some literature reviews about product development process modeling and their purposes are available on the literature; however, none of them intend to deplete the subject. Therefore, this research aims to provide a state of the art about product development process modeling methods and propose a detailed and comprehensive classification of them based on their purposes. To this end, a systematic literature review is conducted, followed by the elaboration of a matrix that relates modeling methods to their purposes. The resulting matrix can serve as a starting point for the elaboration of a framework for modeling method selection.

Throughout the last two decades a number of improved product development processes have been suggested that illustrate and clearly define the nature, scope and holistic representation of the issues involved in understanding and managing the product development process (PDP). The degree to which they have actually added value in the industry, even when lean principles have been incorporated, has been debated by many authors. Many agree that one of the main reasons for the above is that those processes/models are rarely implemented fully or the integrity of the embedded philosophy has been diluted through wrong adaptation. One such model of an improved PDP is the Process Protocol.

This is a literature review on product development for compliance customer’s needs with producer’s capacity from a state of the art review 144 papers in this field. The main contributions are perceived by this study including product development practices. This report is discussed the probable challenges, which will be solved in the present doctoral study. A brief review of methods and features of product development is illustrated. These are product modularity, product family optimization, kansei engineering, axiomatic design theory, quality function deployment and trading agent trade-off. It is also addressed for kano model and product value chain, a method for design from kano indices for quantification, kano classifiers for categorization of customer needs, configuration index for product configuration design, compliance customer’s satisfaction and producer’s capacity by kano evaluator and a design process model of analytical kano for decision making. Probabilities are derived from Kano evaluation table for a starting work of proposed system development. An example of prospect system for doctoral study is proposed and discussed of the proposed system. At last is concluded a conclusion in this regard. Key words: Product Family, Customer Needs, Kano Model, QFD, Product Modularity, Axiomatic Design Theory, System Development, Doctoral Study, Particle Swarm Optimization

The present trend practiced by product manufacturing industries is to stick to basics of management principles in serving internal and external customers herewith to attain a good outcome at end of every process. System Application & Product is one such advanced tool that helps in managing customer service, products production planning, optimization etc. On the other hand Product Lifecycle Management is another tool that assists the industries in managing the entire life cycle of a product by which the new challenges in the product development can be dealt with ease. Automobile industries use management system/tool to organize recent advancements in production and manufacturing process and to produce a product which satisfies customers and brings reputation to industry. This paper deals with utilization and implementation of two existing concepts: SAP & PLM a new dimension in handling the production process and life cycle of a product can be unlocked which eventually benefits in acquiring the customers support, attention, ease in planning the manufacturing design process, optimizations, material management, achieving good results in sales and distribution etc. The obtained results showed a significant improvement in the entire product design and manufacturing process with the best quality.

The aim of this paper is to define Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Systems as a whole product focused management tool by featuring its importance for the enterprise integration management, product development and lean value systems. Methodology-The paper is designed as an exploratory study consists of several interviews with senior managers of ELTAŞ Transformer Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. about the process management capabilities of PLM systems within a case study. Findings-The study reveals that non-technical processes like human resources can be managed using PLM methodology as well as the technical processes like product development. The results show the similarities of technical and non-technical processes, and show the possibility of managing even less technical processes to create a holistic business management tool. Conclusion-The study shows the importance of the PLM systems for the product-focused management while the digital transformation of the production companies and their enterprise integration management and lean value systems.
