Recent surveys show that there are unlimited opportunities in the food, dairy, and regulatory agency fields. An entire new food product development program has started with the space age. It has become imperative to consider anew universal nutrition problems. Industry and educational institutions, as well as the individual himself have a responsibility to develop present opportunities through recruitment programs, training programs, research projects, and incentive plans. The future holds higher technological demands which must: be developed to meet the food needs of the world's population.

Product Development Processes

Lean can be applied to product development processes to improve value creation management. However, allocating resources to a project or a development program in order to maximize the value generated by project activities can be difficult in complex product development processes. This paper discusses how value creation activities can be better managed by regulating the resource allocation process. A mathematical model is proposed to describe value growth and its application to resource allocation is demonstrated that gives insight into value creation trajectories. The application is demonstrated with scenarios developed from the computer industry and a design project.

Abstract – To help fulfill the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board’s new requirements, many institutions are creating positions focused on graduate attributes and the continual improvement process (GACIP). Due to the very recent development of this role, people hired as graduate attribute professionals (GAPs) have no established community in which to network and develop.  In addition, the very nature of these positions is not well defined. This paper describes the development of the Graduate Attribute Professional Network, an informal community of people whose jobs are focused on GACIP, and the results of a survey conducted with its members. GAPs are found to generally be highly educated people, usually with an engineering background, many of whom have experience as educators. They tend to be new to their roles, to be spending 50% or less of full-time hours on GACIP-related duties, and to be involved in every aspect of graduate attribute assessment and the continual improvement process. GAPNet is an important resource to support these individuals who are so involved in engineering education and accreditation in Canada.

Service Activity

The purpose of this community service activity scheme for the Regional Superior Product Development Program is to overcome the problem of the Malay tapai partner since 2008, namely the texture of the prouduk that hardens before expiration, the processing process is still conventional and the packaging process is inefficient and ineffective. This greatly affects the efforts of PPPUD partners in advancing their business. The methods used are training, mentoring and activity evaluation. The result of this activity is that the texture of the tapai Malay diamond is softer and more durable using Stabilex BR. The processing process is more efficient because partners use a crystallization evaporator which can save 3 hours with the same quantity of dough. The packaging of tapai malay diamonds has undergone a more contemporary change and shortens the time in the packaging and consumption process in the minds of consumers. This PPPUD activity is very beneficial for partners, it is proven that the problems faced by PPPUD partners can be resolved properly, this is the important role of academics in advancing SMEs.

AECL is developing a next generation CANDU design to meet market requirements for low cost, reliable energy supplies. The primary product development objective is to achieve a capital cost substantially lower than the current nuclear plant costs, such that the next generation plant will be competitive with alternative options for large-scale base-load electricity supply. However, other customer requirements, including safety, low-operating costs and reliable performance, are being addressed as equally important design requirements. The main focus of this paper is to address the development directions that will provide performance assurance. The next generation CANDU is an evolutionary extension of the proven CANDU 6 design. There are eight CANDU 6 units in operation in four countries around the world and further three units are under construction. These units provide a sound basis for projecting highly reliable performance for the next generation CANDU. In addition, the next generation CANDU program includes development and qualification activities that will address the new features and design extensions in the advanced plant. To limit product development risk and to enhance performance assurance, the next generation CANDU design features and performance parameters have been carefully reviewed during the concept development phase and have been deliberately selected so as to be well founded on the existing CANDU knowledge base. Planned research and development activities are required only to provide confirmation of the projected performance within a modest extension of the established database. Necessary qualification tests will be carried out within the timeframe of the development program, to establish a proven design prior to the start of a construction project. This development support work coupled with ongoing AECL programs to support and enhance the performance and reliability of the existing CANDU plants will provide sound assurance that the next generation CANDU plants will meet customer expectations.

To work effectively as a consultant in a product development program, the human factors practitioner needs to work effectively with other professionals including product and marketing managers; software, electrical, and mechanical engineers; interaction and industrial designers. Drawing upon examples and experience from several product development programs, the paper considers ways of improving effectiveness including building relationships with colleagues, scoping issues to be addressed, selecting methods for the time available, and communicating with product development team members.
