  • NEW Product Development: IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES FOR SUSTAINABLE Product Development IN SMEs UTILISING AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES
    The IET International Conference on Agile Manufacturing, 2007
    Co-Authors: Q. Wang
    Abstract:

    Small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK are increasingly engaging in new Product Development (NPD) for competitive advantage. With limited resources and expertise in new Product and process Development, introduction and implementation the associate risks are significantly higher for those involved. In this paper, enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology is used to provide an insight into the relationship between technology application, personnel involvement and sustainable Product Development in a subcontract manufacturing SME. The aim is to provide a Product Development strategy supported by the implementation of sustainable Product Development procedures through the utilization of available, advanced technologies.

  • determinants of a sustainable new Product Development
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2014
    Co-Authors: Harald Gmelin, Stefan Seuring
    Abstract:

    Abstract Organizing and managing new Product Development has been perceived as challenging issues in both academia and industry for several decades. The aspect of sustainability has often been neglected in new Product Development although new Product Development allows addressing sustainable characteristics upfront in the Product life-cycle. The purpose of this paper is to link sustainability and new Product Development by providing a conceptual framework emphasizing the interconnections of sustainability and new Product Development with a life-cycle and Product-focused perspective. Such a link of sustainable new Product Development with a life-cycle and Product life-cycle point of view has not been presented so far. This paper intends to elaborate on this connection, so that it leads into the subjects of new Product Development and sustainability, culminating in a life-cycle approach supporting a sustainable new Product Development. The conceptual framework indicates that it is important to involve life-cycle management, and Product life-cycle management to reach a sustainable new Product Development. The Product-focused Product life-cycle management approach gives the necessary structure for a jointly sustainable new Product Development on grounds of cross-departmental and cross-company processes, data, and people. The factor of collaboration integrates the life-cycle-based concepts to reach a sustainable new Product Development. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it offers a novel conceptual framework of a sustainable new Product Development by means of Product life-cycle management and thus extends current research on green new Product Development. Second, it provides a life-cycle management focused approach to support collaboration by complexity reduction, process harmonization, and technology.

  • the transdisciplinary Product Development lifecycle model
    Journal of Engineering Design, 2008
    Co-Authors: Bulent Gumus, Derrick Tate, Abdulkadir Ertaş, Ismail Cicek
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, a new Product Development lifecycle model, the Transdisciplinary Product Development Lifecycle (TPDL) model, is explained. This new model is based on the axiomatic design (AD) method developed by Suh; hence it inherits the benefits of applying AD to Product Development. In this model, the AD method is extended to cover the whole Product Development lifecycle, including the test domain, and new domain characteristic vectors are introduced to systematically capture and manage the input constraints and system components. The TPDL model helps develop, capture, and present both the big-picture and a detailed view of the Product Development knowledge, including design and requirement traceability knowledge. The objectives of the TDPL model are to guide the designers, developers, and other members of a transdisciplinary Product Development team throughout the Development effort as well as to help capture, maintain, and manage the knowledge produced during the Product Development process. ...

  • Consumer Led Food Product Development - Consumer-led food Product Development.
    2007
    Co-Authors: H. J. H. Macfie
    Abstract:

    Part 1 Understanding consumer food choice and acceptance: Integrating consumer responses to food Products Sensory perception as a basis of food acceptance and consumption How does culture affect choice of foods? Psychobiological mechanisms in food choice How do risk beliefs and ethics affect food choice? Consumer attitudes to food innovation and technology. Part 2 Determining consumers' food-related attitudes for food Product Development: Methods to understand consumer attitudes and motivations and the effective use of these methods for food Product Development Using means-end chains to understand food consumers' knowledge structures Consumer attitude measures and food Product Development Measuring consumer expectations to improve food Product Development Boredom and the reasons why some new food Products fail SensoEmotional optimisation of food Products and brands. Part 3 Methods for consumer-led food Product Development: Sensory research and consumer-led food Product Development Opportunity identification in new Product Development and innovation in food Product Development Consumer-driven concept Development and innovation in food Product Development Consumer testing of food Products using children The use of just about right (JAR) scales in food Product Development and reformulation Conducting difference testing and preference trials properly for food Product Development Thurstonian probabilistic approaches to new food Product Development Using auctions to estimate prices and value of food Products The use of partial least squares methods in new food Product Development Case study of consumer-oriented food Product Development: reduced-calorie foods.
