Designing Product for the Customer
PRODUCTA product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need.
,• A tangible product is a physical object that can be perceived by touch such as a building, vehicle, gadget, or clothing.
• An intangible product is a product that can only be perceived indirectly such as an insurance policy.
Product design• Involves a broad approach to the designing and making of innovative products.
• Design process is a collection of procedures that helps teams design better products.
Objectives of Product Design• To ensure growth of the Organization• To meet costumer Requirements• To utilize the surplus fund of the organization• To increase company’s market share and to target new customers
Features of a Good Product Design• Functionality• Reliability• Productivity • Quality• Standardization
The Process of Design• Designing is the process of making many decisions that
converts an abstract concept into a reality.
STEPS• Product design specifications• Research• Ideas• Prototypes• Final design• Testing• Manufacturing
Differentiating factors in product design
• Quality• Design and Feature set• Support and help• Organizational Requirements for Product development and
management
How to get your product noticed• Develop fact based arguments
• Use demonstrations
• Focus on converting a group of early adopters
• Target influencers
Customer Satisfaction
• Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals.
• Customer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase intentions and loyalty.
Make the most of your Customer’s feedback• Ask the right question
• Simulate real life.
• Don’t become a slave to the numbers
.• Organizations need to retain existing customers while targeting non-
customers.• Measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how
successful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace.
• On a five-point scale, individuals who rate their satisfaction level as '5' are likely to become return customers.
• Willingness to recommend is a key metric relating to customer satisfaction.
Customer development is the key to product success• 1.Find out what problems you can solve for the customer before
designing the product.
• 2.Get early feedback on new product concepts from customers by showing them initial prototypes.
House Of Quality
Introduction• Every successful company has always used data and information to
help in its planning processes. In planning a new product, engineers have always examined the manufacturing and performance history of the current product.
• They look at field test data, comparing their product to that of their competitor’s product. They examine any customer satisfaction information that might happen to be available.
• Quality Function Deployment (QFD) uses a matrix format to capture a number of issues that are vital to the planning process.
• The House of Quality Matrix is the most recognized and widely used form of this method.
• It translates customer requirements, based on marketing research and benchmarking data, into an appropriate number of engineering targets to be met by a new product design.
• Its general format is made up of six major components. • These include 1. customer requirements2. technical requirements3. a planning matrix4. an interrelationship matrix5. a technical correlation matrix 6. a technical priorities/benchmarks and targets
section.
The voice of the customer• The initial steps in forming the house of quality include
determining, clarifying and specifying the customer ‘s needs.
1. Clarifying customer needs:- - customers buy benefits and producers offer features. - it is most important to translate the wishes of each
and every customer into some tangible values that can be turned into engineering specification.
2. Specifying the customer needs:- - After determining what items are the most important to the
customer, organizations must translate them into particular specifications.
- Nothing can be produced, serviced or maintained without detailed specification and some set of standards.
• Each aspects of the desired items must be clearly defined: - measurements must be defined, heights specified, torques stated
and weights targeted. - These values can be derived from several locations. Organization
can use known data from market research or conduct new studies to gather necessary information.
- The needs which were clarified and then explicitly stated, should be satisfied to the best of that organization’s ability.
Technical requirements• The next step of the QFD process is identifying what the customer
wants and what must be achieved to satisfy these wants.• regulatory standards and requirements dictated by management
must be identified. Once all requirements are identified it is important to answer what must be done to the product design to fulfill the necessary requirements.
Planning Matrix• Purpose:- To compare how well the team met the
customer requirements compare to it’s competitors.• Customer rating , typically ranging from 1 to 5 are
given to each company under each requirement.• The customer ratings are combined with the
weighted performance of each demand to produce over all performance measure for all companies.
Interrelation Matrix• Function:- To establish a connection between a
customer’s product requirement and the performance measures designed to improve product.
- To obtain the opinions of the consumers as far as what they need and require from a specific product.
• With this customer overview, the company can begin to formulate a strategy to improve their product.
• In doing this, the strengths and weaknesses of the company are weighted against the customer priorities to determine
a) what aspects need to be changed to surpass the competitionb) what aspects need to change to equal the competitionc) what aspects will be left unchanged.
• The optimal combination is desired.
Technical correlation matrix• which is more often referred to as the Roof, is used to
aid in developing relationships between customer requirements and product requirements and identifies where these units must work together otherwise they will be in a design conflict.
• The following symbols are used to represent what type of impact each requirement has on the other hand:-
- strong positive - positive - negative - strong negative• The objective is to highlight any requirements that
might be in conflict with each other.
Technical Properties and Targets• Technical properties matrix uses specific items to record the
priorities assigned to technical requirements.• It also provides a technical performance achieved by competitive
products and the degree of difficulty in each requirement.• The final output of the matrix is a set of the target values for each
technical requirements.
Conclusion• The House of Quality functions as a living document and a source of
ready reference for related products and future upgrades.• the House of Quality helps to identify the critical technical
components that require change.
Purpose of Design for manufacturing and assembly
To provide an overview of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) techniques, which are used to minimize product cost through design and process improvements.
Design for ManufacturingDefinition: DFM is the method of design for ease of manufacturing of the collection of parts that will form the product after assembly.
‘Optimization of the manufacturing process…’
DFA is a tool used to select the most cost effective material and process to be used in the production in the early stages of product design.
Design for AssemblyDefinition: DFA is the method of design of the product for ease of assembly.
‘…Optimization of the part/system assembly’
DFA is a tool used to assist the design teams in the design of products that will transition to productions at a minimum cost, focusing on the number of parts, handling and ease of assembly.
DifferencesDesign for Assembly (DFA)• concerned only with reducing product assembly cost
• minimizes number of assembly operations• individual parts tend to be more complex in design
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)• concerned with reducing overall part production cost
• minimizes complexity of manufacturing operations• uses common datum features and primary axes
Similarities• Both DFM and DFA seek to reduce material, overhead, and labor cost.• They both shorten the product development cycle time. • Both DFM and DFA seek to utilize standards to reduce cost
Terminology Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) are now
commonly referred to as a single methodology, Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) .

DFMA – Design for manufacturing and assemblyDesign for Manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) are the
integration of product design and process planning into one common activity.
The goal is to design a product that is easily and economically manufactured.
The heart of any design for manufacturing system is a group of design principles or guidelines that are structured to help the designer reduce the cost and difficulty of manufacturing an item. The following is a listing of these rules
Reduce the total number of partsThe reduction of the number of parts in a product is probably the best opportunity for reducing
manufacturing costs. Less parts implies less purchases, inventory, handling, processing time, development time, equipment, engineering time, assembly difficulty, service inspection, testing
Develop a modular designThe use of modules in product design simplifies manufacturing activities such as
inspection, testing, assembly, purchasing, redesign, maintenance, service
Use of standard componentsStandard components are less expensive than custom-made items. The high
availability of these components reduces product lead times.
Design parts to be multi-functional
Multi-functional parts reduce the total number of parts in a design, thus, obtaining the benefits given in rule 1. Some examples are a part to act as both an electric conductor and as a structural member, or as a heat dissipating element and as a structural member.
Design parts for multi-useIn a manufacturing firm, different products can share parts that have been
designed for multi-use. These parts can have the same or different functions when used in different products.
In order to do this, it is necessary to identify the parts that are suitable for multi-use. For example, all the parts used in the firm (purchased or made) can be sorted into two groups: the first containing all the parts that are used commonly in all products.
Design for ease of fabrication
Select the optimum combination between the material and fabrication process to minimize the overall manufacturing cost. In general, final operations such as painting, polishing, finish machining, etc. should be avoided. Excessive tolerance, surface-finish requirement, and so on are commonly found problems that result in higher than necessary production cost.
Minimize assembly directionsAll parts should be assembled from one direction. If possible, the best way to add
parts is from above, in a vertical direction, parallel to the gravitational direction (downward).
In this way, the effects of gravity help the assembly process, contrary to having to compensate for its effect when other directions are chosen.
