The most common method of Product optimizationMultiple product attributes are specified and then

tested with consumers.Due to complex interaction effects between

different attributes, it is problematic to use mathematical methods, such as Conjoint Analysis, typically used in industrial process optimization.

companies started to adopt Evolutionary Optimization techniques for Product optimization.

Algorithm are used to optimize products.

Multivariate Optimization

Developing a product with real advantages and benefits to customers entails:

Identifying the target market — exactly who the intended user is.

Conducting extensive market research to identify customer/user needs, wants and preferences,and to define what the customer sees as a better product.

Translating customer needs or problems into a technically viable solution — product features, attributes, requirements and specifications.

Develop a Product with Real advantages to customers

Defining the product concept- what the product will be and do, and the benefits to be delivered.

Testing and verifying-to ensure that the final product scores high with the customer. The customer should be exposed to the product as it takes shape, not solely as an after-the-fact check.

Product Discovery is the First and initial step of Product Optimization.

A Company put the idea then search the market for the Product.

Then Discover the new Product for that market.

The Product optimizes after this.

Product Discovery

Go to Companies who provide optimization services with your existing Product .

Provide them with possible information.

Companies use their experience and link to provide you the information and rigid production plan.

Make own choice how to use and implement the recommendations.

Steps provided for Product Optimization

Define the Experiment- Do the test to know the new idea is better, worse or has no result.

One Change at a Time- Test one change at one time.

Get Statically Significantly Results as fast as possible- Get experiment done and get meaningful data .

Keep your eye on the Prize.

10 Key Of Product Optimization

The process of optimization is best done under Product Optimization. 5 ways to optimize product manufacturing-

1. Component Optimization- More time is needed to find the correct choice of material in less price.

2. Material Optimization- Remove the extra material not required and put the best material for success.

3. Design Optimization- If there is multifunctional circuits in a single device then it will carry extra production cost.

Manufacture and Production Cost Reduction

4. Manufacturing Process Optimization- To low the cost of manufacturing and to run the system smooth.

5. Contract Manufacturer Selection- If not satisfied with the quality and cost of the product, can change the Contractor.

Communication Begins with Product Optimization Request Form (PORF).

Information collected with PORF is kept strictly confidential.
