Concept of New Product Development

Concept of New Product Development

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The product idea concept is first developed from market and consumer research but with consideration of the technical aspects of the product. Usually, it is a combination of internal company information searching combined with consumer or, in industrial marketing, customer discussion groups. In industrial product development, it has been shown that selecting the most innovative customers for product concept development reduces the time and improves the product concepts. The product idea concept research leads to a more detailed description of the product ideas and also includes screening of the ideas. 

Product Development is the design and engineering required to make products serviceable, salable, producible and profitable. 
The basic concept involved in PD may be of two types: 
  1. Creative
  2. Technical
  • Creative design focuses on analysis and creativity.
  • Technical design which involves perfecting the style, fit and patterns and developing detailed specifications and costs.
  • The product can either be one that is new in market or one that is new to your particular company or existing product that has been improved.
Why develop New Product?
  • To create stars and cash cows for the future
  • To replace declining product
  • To take advantage of new technology
  • To defeat rivals
  • To maintain/increase market share
  • To keep up with rivals
  • To maintain competitive advantage
  • To fill gap in the market
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS? 
Management, Designers, Merchandisers are involved in the development of a line or collection of the fashion manufacturer's product. 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: 
Apparel product development involves three phases:
  • Pre-adoption
  • Line-adoption
  • Post-adoption
Pre-adoption 

1. This phase involves:
  • Design Features
2. Design development through sketching, draping and CAD. 

3. CAD system allows trial and error in developing concepts for approval without having to sew physical samples. 

4. Design process may be conducted simultaneously in different sequences to reduce time for the product development. 

5. Design may be original ,draw on fabric, stored in computer or given by the consumer.
  • Piece Goods
6. Fabric selection. Material testing for performance. 

7. In the pre-adoption phase it is make sure that the fabric or other materials that we are going to use would be available in large quantity for production.
  • Trims
8. Accessories selection and testing if required. 

9. The accessories and trims that are going to be used in the garment must be available. 

Line-adoption 
1. This phase involves:
  • Integration of line development and line presentation
2. Planning a Collection 
3. Developing a Collection (Design Development)
  • Developing a sample garment
  • Preparation of sales samples
Post-adoption 
Which designs will become styles in the line and how the styles relate to the line planning? 
This phase involves:
  • Perfect Styling and Fit.
Because sometimes the fitness present in the sample cannot be achieved in the production process. 
  • Engineering production patterns.
  • Assembly methods (to check the suitability in production.
  • Developing Styles.
  • Quality specifications.
  • Estimate detailed costs.
  • Estimate the operation cost.

Some Essential Formula and Example for Industrial Engineer (IE)

Some Essential Formula and Example for Industrial Engineer (IE) Industrial engineering  is a branch of engineering which is used to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, machine time, energy, person-hours, and other resources that do not generate value. As like other manufacturing industry, industrial engineering now widely used in textile and apparel industry. Textile and garment industry have to face heavy challenges due to various factors including global competition, production costs increase, less productivity/efficiency, labor attrition, etc. For overcoming those challenges industrial engineering knowledge and formulas are frequently used in apparel manufacturing industry. In this article I have given some important and popular terms and formulas o f industrial  engineering. I have also given some examples for which reader can easily understand.  Some Important Formula & Example for IE    1. Standard Pitch Time (S.P.T) ...

STANDART ZAMAN – GÖZLEM SAYISI

STANDART ZAMAN – GÖZLEM SAYISI   Bir orman endüstrisi işletmesinde herhangi bir iş devresine ait zaman ölçümleri aşağıdaki gibidir (Hata payını % 5, güven düzeyini % 95, paylar toplamı %15’dir).  a) Bu iş için gerekli standart zamanı hesaplayınız. b) Yapılan gözlem sayısının yeterli olup olmadığını hesaplayarak gösteriniz. c) Yapılmış olan tempo taktirleri hakkındaki görüşleriniz nelerdir?    Çözüm   a) Normal zaman   :  NZ=GZxD     Standart zaman  :  SZ = (1+P)xNZ    Standart zaman: SZ = 824.6 x (1 + 0.15) = 948.3 saniye  b) Gözlem sayısı  c) Ölçülen zaman arttıkça tempo azalmalıdır. Tabloda verilen tempo değerleri bu kurala çoğunlukla uymamaktadır.  Çalışma sorusu    - Bir orman endüstrisi işletmesinde iş etüdü uzmanı 09.00- 17.00 saatleri arasında 10 dakika süreli 10 gözlem yapmıştır. İş devresine ait zaman ölçümleri kronometre ile ve sürekli...

Process Charts

Process Charts The charting of work flows, working processes, systems and procedures is a useful way of recording the essential features of a work situation for subsequent analysis. Process Charts are one of the simpler forms of workflow charting and are still in regular usage but are less common than they once were. This is unfortunate since it was the ubiquitous nature of the process chart that made it a common "language" between different groups of people and across different industries. A variety of process charts has been designed to meet the needs of a particular level or stage of analysis; they can be used at a detailed level (recording activity at a specific work station or workplace), but also at the wider system, process or procedure level. The different kinds of process chart share a common core set of symbols, though some have additional symbols for specific and specialised process steps. The common symbols (of which there are only five) were first promul...
