Microsoft PowerPoint - Creative DesignCreative Design? Choices from
2011 Fall (MBA)
What aspect of product is valued in your selection?• Which product
(svc/biz model etc. ) did you choose?• Could you describe why you
chose that specific product?• Aesthetic appeal: color, shape• Ease
of use• Functionality• Uniqueness• Environmentally friendly•
Longevity• Symbolic status• …………….

• Basic Science à Applied Science à New Product Development à User
Innovation– What is the role of the basic science?
Which is better & more prevalent?• Market-oriented
innovation(market or demand “pull” ??)or• Manufacturer/service
provider- driven innovation (technology or supply “push” ??)

Conventional wisdom?
The best innovations are customer/needs/demand-driven.• Common
thoughts:– Nothing is worse than “a technology in search of an
application,” or “a solution in search of a problem and a
customer”
– “Necessity is the mother of invention”
– “How many billions of dollars has this company spent on R&D
that goes nowhere?!”

mode, sleep mode also possible)

New Product Success Factors• Developing a superior, differentiated
product with unique benefits and superior value to the customers•
Having a strong market orientation throughout the development
process• Getting sharp, early product definition before development
begins• Quality execution (completeness, consistency, and
proficiency) of activities in the development process• Having the
correct organizational structure (multifunctional, empowered
teams)• Providing the sharp project selection decisions• Top
management: specifying new product strategy and providing needed
resources• Speed to market (Cooper, 1996)
New Product Development Process
• Generate alternative product architectures•Define major
subsystems and interfaces• Refine industrial design
• Define part geometry• Choose materials• Assign tolerances•
Complete industrial control documentation
• Reliability testing•Life testing•Performance testing• Obtain
regulatory approvals• Implement design changes
• Evaluate early production output
• Collect customer needs• Identify lead users• Identify competitive
products
• Develop plan for product options and extended product family• Set
target sales price points
• Develop marketing plan • Develop promotion and launch materials•
Facilitate field testing
• Place early production with key customers
(Source: Ulrich & Eppinger)
• Perform make-buy analysis• Define final assembly scheme• Set
target costs
• Define piece-part production processes• Design tooling• Define
quality assurance processes
•Facilitate supplier ramp-up• Train workforce• Refine assembly
processes
• Begin operation of production system

Production Ramp-up
Product planning is an activity that considers the portfolio of
projects that an organization might pursue and determines what
subset of these projects will be pursued over what time period ü
Which product development projects will be undertaken? ü How do the
various projects relate to each other as a portfolio ü Timing and
sequence of the projects?

1. Define the scope2. Gather raw data from customers (interviews,
focus groups, observation)3. Interpret the raw data in terms of
customer needs4. Organize the needs into a hierarchy of primary,
secondary, and tertiary needs5. Establish the relative importance
of the needs6. Reflect on the results and the process (Source:

What are specifications?- Customer needs are expressed in the
“language of the customers.”- Specifications are the language of
the manufacturer/service provider- “Measurable detail of what the
product has to do”- Product requirements (Source: Ulrich &
Eppinger)
Target Specification
(Source: Ulrich & Eppinger)
For your class projects, measurable metric may not exist. In this
case, just describe the specification of the final
product/service/business model in terms of feature
requirements

Concept Classification Tree
(Source: Ulrich & Eppinger)
• Division of the entire space of solutions into several distinct
classes • Identification of independent approaches to the problem•
Pruning of less promising branches• Refinement of the problem
decomposition for a particular branch

Selection of Product Concepts• The goal of concept selection is NOT
to select the best concept• The goal of the concept selection is to
DEVELOP the best concept• Combine and refine the concepts to
develop better ones• Selection Methods– External decision–
Intuition– Multivoting– Pros and cons– Prototype and test– Decision
matrices (Source: Ulrich & Eppinger)
