Design for Product Life Cycle
 It is an important concept and requirement in marketing.
 The product life cycle is a concept that seeks to describe
a product’s sales, competitors, customers, and marketing
emphasis from its beginning until it is removed from the
market.
 It explains the stages of a product from starting to
until removed from the market.
 Not all products reach this final stage
 Some continue to grow and others rise and fall
Stages of Product Life Cycle

Profit is negative in Introduction, slowly rises in Growth, peaks and


then declines in Maturity stage and in Decline stage.
Stage 1: Introduction
 Stage 1: Introduction
 Occurs when product first enters marketplace
 Promoting consumer awareness

 Getting customers to try new product

 Millions of dollars spent to educate consumers

 Major task: getting product in the marketplace


Stage 2: Growth
 Stage 2: Growth
 More competitors enter the marketplace
 Adding distribution outlets

 Product improves:
 adding flavors, features, etc.
 Improved to stay competitive
 Sold in more locations
Stage 3: Maturity Stage
 Stage 3: Maturity Stage
 Sales begin to slow down for the product
 Repeat customers stop buying the product

 Attracting new buyers is a challenge

 Product has reached its peak


Stage 4: Decline
 Stage 4: Decline
 Sales and profits drop
 Little to no marketing support

 Product may be dropped by company

 There is no longer a demand for the product


7 Selected Product Life Cycles
Manage Product Life Cycle
The management of all phases of product’s life cycle, from new idea
through to commercialization and decline.

 Product Modification:
 Changing a product’s characteristics
 package, features, appearance, quality
 Companies market this “new” product to increase sales
 Product differentiation
 Market Modification:
 Strategy to find new customers
 Modify the product to create new target market
 Encourage current customers to use the product more
 Entering new market segment
 Win competitors customers
 Repositioning:
 Change product’s image in relation to competitor’s image
 A change in any of the 4 P’s of Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place and
Promotion).
Product Expansion
Quality function deployment QFD
 Quality Function Deployment: is a systematic approach to
design based on a close awareness of customer desires,
coupled with the integration of corporate functional groups.
 It consists in translating customer desires (customer voice)
(for example, the ease of writing for a pen) into design
characteristics (voice of the engineer) (pen ink viscosity,
pressure on ball-point) for each stage of the product
development.
History of QFD
 QFD was developed in Japan in the late 1960s by Professors
Shigeru Mizuno and Yoji Akao.
 Now widely used not only in Japan but in Europe and the US
QFD
 Identify customer needs/wants
 Identify how the good/service will satisfy customer
wants/needs
 Relate customer wants to product how's
 Identify relationships between the firm’s how's
 Develop importance ratings
 Evaluate competing products
Features of QFD
• Focuses on meeting market needs by using actual customer
statements (“Voice of the customer”)
- expectations
- requirements

• It requires Customer and top Management commitment

• Its effective application of multidisciplinary teamwork


-cross functional
-makes use of effective communication

• The use of a comprehensive matrix called (the “House of


Quality”) for
-documenting information
Benefits of QFD
• Improves customer satisfaction
- defines requirements into basic needs
- fewer customer complaints
• Reduces implementation time
- reduction in design changes
- expensive corrections and redesigns are eliminated
• Promotes teamwork
-inputs are required from all facets of an organization
• Provides documentation
-database serves as a valuable source for future designs
• Increases in market share etc.
Design for environment
 Design for Environment (DFE) is a method to minimize
or eliminate environmental impacts of a product over its
life cycle.
 Effective DFE practice maintains or improves product
quality and cost while reducing environmental impacts.
 DFE expands the traditional manufacturer’s focus on
the production and distribution of its products to a
closed-loop life cycle.
Environmental impacts may be;
 Global warming, solid waste

 Water and air pollution

 Land degradation etc.


Design of reliability, FMEA

What is Product Reliability?


 Reliability is the probability that a product will
continue to work normally over a specified
interval of time, under specified conditions.
 For example, the mouse on your computer might
have a reliability of 0.990 (or 99%) over the next
1000 hours. It has a 99% chance of working
normally during this time, which is obviously the
same as saying it has a 1% chance of being faulty.
What is Design for Reliability (DfR)?

 Reliability is the measure of a product’s


ability to
o …perform the specified function
o …at the customer (with their use environment)

o …over the desired lifetime

Design for Reliability is a process for ensuring


the reliability of a product or system during the
design stage before physical prototype.
A more reliable product spends less of its time being maintained,
so there is often a design trade-off between reliability and
maintainability.

 Reliability is extremely design-sensitive. Very slight


changes to the design of a component can cause
profound changes in reliability, which is why it is
important to specify product reliability and
maintainability targets before any design work is
undertaken.
 This in turn requires early knowledge of the anticipated
service life of the product, and the degree to which
parts of the product are to be made replaceable.
For example, a ballpoint pen could be:
1. Disposable.
It will be reliable until the ink is exhausted, at which point it is discarded.
Neither the ink nor parts of the pen body are replaceable, so the pen body
needs to last no longer than the ink. The product has a short service life.
2. Refillable.
It will be designed for routine replacement of ink (usually as an ink cartridge),
but pen body parts will not be replaceable. The body must be reliable enough
to outlast the specified number of ink replacement cycles. The product has a
moderate service life.
DFR Tools and Technics:
FMEA, Reliability hazard analysis, Fault tree analysis, Root cause analysis,
Human error analysis etc.

Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA)


 FMEA is a systematic method of identifying and preventing system, product
and process problems before they occur. FMEA is focused on preventing
problems, enhancing safety, and increasing customer satisfaction
 Ideally, FMEA’s are conducted in the product design or process development
stages, although conducting an FMEA on existing products or processes may
also yield benefits
FMEA is a tool that allows you to:
 Prevent System, Product and Process problems before they
occur
 Reduce costs by identifying system, product and process
improvements early in the development cycle
 Create more robust processes
 Prioritize actions that decrease risk of failure
 Evaluate the system, design and processes from a starting point
Taguchi method of DOE
Systemized statistical approach to product and process
improvement developed by Dr. G. Taguchi

Design of Experiments: An information gathering exercise. DOE is a structured


method for determining the relationship between process inputs and process
outputs.
Taguchi Method for Robust Design
 In the design of a new system, any activity can be
called robust design, if it causes the system…
– To have longer life (higher reliability)
– To be more consistent from use to use
– To be more consistent from product to product
– To perform consistently as temperature and
other conditions change
A robust product or process performs correctly,
even in the presence of noise factors.
Noise factors may include:
–parameter variations
–environmental changes
–operating conditions
–manufacturing variations
Goals for Designed Experiments
• Modeling
– Understanding relationships between design
parameters and product performance
– Understanding effects of noise factors
• Optimizing
– Reducing product or process variations
– Optimizing nominal performance
In robust design we use experiments and data
analysis to identify robust set points for the
design parameters we can control.
A system (product or process) is robust if it performs
properly in a wide range of conditions
Quality loss functions
Taguchi Methods is a statistical methods developed
largely by GENICHI TAGUCHI to improve quality of
manufactured goods.
LOSS = Cost to operate, Failure to function, maintenance
and repair cost, customer satisfaction, poor design.
 Quality Loss Occurs when a product’s deviates
from target or nominal value.
 Deviation Grows, then Loss increases.
 Taguchi’s U-shaped loss Function Curve.
Formula to find Taguchi’s Loss Function
Taguchi uses Quadratic Equation to determine loss Curve

 L (x) = k (x-N)²
Where L (x) = Loss Function,
k = C/d² = Constant of proportionality,
where C – Loss associated with sp limit
d - Deviation of specification
from target value
x = Quality Features of selected product,
N = Nominal Value of the product and
(x-N) = Tolerance
