Design of Goods and Services
1. A Report in Production and Operations Management

3. ► Organizations exist to provide goods or services
to society
► Great products are the key to success
► Top organizations typically focus on core
products
► Customers buy satisfaction, not just a physical
good or particular service
► Fundamental to an organization's strategy with
implications throughout the operations function
4. ► Goods or services are the basis for an
organization's existence
► Limited and predicable life cycles requires
constantly looking for, designing, and
developing new products
► New products generate substantial revenue
5. The objective of the product decision is to develop
and implement a product strategy that meets the
demands of the marketplace with a competitive
advantage
6. ► May be any length from a few days to decades
► The operations function must be able to
introduce new products successfully
8. Introductory Phase
► Fine tuning may warrant unusual
expenses for
1. Research
2. Product development
3. Process modification and enhancement
4. Supplier development
9. Growth Phase
► Product design begins to stabilize
► Effective forecasting of capacity becomes
necessary
► Adding or enhancing capacity may be necessary
10. Maturity Phase
► Competitors now established
► High volume, innovative production may be
needed
► Improved cost control, reduction in options,
paring down of product line
11. Decline Phase
Unless product makes a special contribution to
the organization, must plan to terminate offering

14. 1. Understanding the customer
2. Economic change
3. Sociological and demographic change
4. Technological change
5. Political and legal change
6. Market practice, professional standards, suppliers,
distributors
15. The creation of products with new or different
characteristics that offer new or additional benefits
to the customer.
Product development may involve modification of
an existing product or its presentation, or
formulation of an entirely new product that
satisfies a newly defined customer want or market
niche.
17. Products are designed so that they may be
manufactured uniformly and consistently despite
adverse manufacturing and environmental
conditions.
18. Product life cycles are becoming shorter.
∴ Faster developers of new products gain on
slower developers and obtain a competitive
advantage
19. Products designed in easily segmented
components known as modular designs
Adds flexibility to both production and marketing
Examples:
◦ Airbus – wings
◦ Fast food – buns, vegetables, etc.
◦ Computers
21. Benefits of CAD
◦ Shorter design time
◦ Database availability
◦ New capabilities
◦ Improved product quality
◦ Reduced production costs
Extensions
◦ Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
◦ 3-D Object Modeling
◦ CAD info is translated into machine control instructions
(CAM)
22. Computer technology used to develop an
interactive, 3-D model of a product
Especially helpful in design of layouts (e.g. factory,
store, home, office, etc.)

23. Focuses on design improvement during production
Seeks improvements leading either to a better
product or a product which can be more
economically produced
24. Benefits
◦ Safe and environmentally sound products
◦ Minimum raw material and energy waste
◦ Product differentiation
◦ Environmental liability reduction
◦ Cost-effective compliance with environmental
regulations
◦ Recognition as good corporate citizen
25. Make products recyclable
Use recycled materials
Use less harmful ingredients
Use lighter components
Use less energy
Use less material
Example: P&G does not sell laundry detergent. P&G sells the benefit of clean clothes
to relate it to cash flow
This slide introduces some of the issues of product development.
After discussing the concept of robust design, you might identify a product and ask students to identify the use of robust design in its production.
example is the use of the plastic seal on the inside of soda bottle caps. umbrella fabric that will not deteriorate when exposed to varying environments. food products that have long shelf lives
Ask the students to consider the effect of time-based competition not only on the producer, but also on the customer. Assume that you order two computers, through a catalog, directly from the factory. If you place one order today, and a second two days from now (for the same model, etc.), you may well receive two machines sufficiently different that the installation procedure for one will not work on the second. The producer has to deal with the issue of producing a constantly evolving product, but you also have to manage the problem created by the increasingly short and perhaps in a sense, artificial, product lifetimes.
Example: copmputer systems
Ask your students to suggest examples of products that are produced in modular fashion. Certainly microcomputers provide a good example; also cars, motorcycles, and hamburgers.
CAD can be viewed both as a sophisticated design tool, and as the first step in developing a completely integrated production process. CAD=>CAM=> ... CIM. Computer integrated manufacturing
You might point out here that modern CAD systems with 3D representation and virtual reality capability allow one to “consumer test” a product before it is produced. Students will probably be familiar with some of the televised automobile company ads.
You might suggest that your students view value analysis as value engineering during, rather than prior to, production. Value analysis helps continually improve both design and production methodology.
Environmental issues are becoming more important in product design. Ask students for example of companies which stress environmentally sound design and production practices. Also ask them to suggest some examples of companies which have a very poor environmental record. Why does such a difference exist?
