Book Description
As product designer or product marketing manager, decisions related to the conceptualization and design of new products and modifications of existing ones are critical and must be made following proven, successful methodologies. While many books on product management, development, and product marketing exist, they do not explore these techniques and the applications outside the traditional marketing management context. The result is a serious lack of understanding for professionals around the world about the design process itself and the tools for product development. Carlos M. Rodríguez, PhD, is the director of the Center for the Study of Innovation Management CSIM at Delaware State University, and has set out to address this discrepancy. The result is Product Design and Innovation: Analytics for Decision Making, a practical, hands-on resource guiding readers through the entire design process and methodologies applied in industry. Beginning with concepts and ideas, Rodríguez provides the analytical and quantitative skills needed to see a project through to launch-while minimizing future commercial risks. Techniques discussed include the Kano methodology and concept development, functional analysis and systems technique (FAST), quality function deployment (QFD), Taguchi robust design, emotional design, Kansei methodology, and prototyping. An accessible, step-by-step overview of product conceptualization and design, supported by illustrative applications and written in a clear and simple language, Product Design and Innovation is an invaluable tool for design students and marketing professionals.

Sustainability Through Innovation in Product Life Cycle Design
Author: Mitsutaka Matsumoto
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811004714
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1000
Book Description
This book consists of chapters based on selected papers presented at the EcoDesign2015 symposium (9th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing). The symposium, taking place in Tokyo in December 2015, has been leading the research and practices of eco-design of products and product-related services since it was first held in 1999. The proceedings of EcoDesign2011 were also published by Springer. Eco-design of products and product-related services (or product life cycle design) are indispensable to realize the circular economy and to increase resource efficiencies of our society. This book covers the state of the art of the research and the practices in eco-design, which are necessary in both developed and developing countries. The chapters of the book, all of which were peer-reviewed, have been contributed by authors from around the world, especially from East Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The features of the book include (1) coverage of the latest topics in the field, e.g., global eco-design management, data usage in eco-design, and social perspectives in eco-design; (2) an increased number of authors from Southeast Asian countries, with a greater emphasis on eco-design in emerging economies; (3) high-quality manuscripts, with the number of chapters less than half of that of the previous book.

Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0123919436
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This book provides the bridge between engineering design and medical device development. There is no single text that addresses the plethora of design issues a medical devices designer meets when developing new products or improving older ones. It addresses medical devices' regulatory (FDA and EU) requirements--some of the most stringent engineering requirements globally. Engineers failing to meet these requirements can cause serious harm to users as well as their products’ commercial prospects. This Handbook shows the essential methodologies medical designers must understand to ensure their products meet requirements. It brings together proven design protocols and puts them in an explicit medical context based on the author's years of academia (R&D phase) and industrial (commercialization phase) experience. This design methodology enables engineers and medical device manufacturers to bring new products to the marketplace rapidly. The medical device market is a multi-billion dollar industry. Every engineered product for this sector, from scalpelsstents to complex medical equipment, must be designed and developed to approved procedures and standards. This book shows how Covers US, and EU and ISO standards, enabling a truly international approach, providing a guide to the international standards that practicing engineers require to understand Written by an experienced medical device engineers and entrepreneurs with products in the from the US and UK and with real world experience of developing and commercializing medical products
