The aims of this research is to improve the design of IV cannula stopper or also known as heparin cap by utilizing the application of product design and development approach and employing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machine. For this reason, the user requirements to identified target specifications and concept generation were proposed and the IV cannula stopper prototypes were fabricated using Rapid Prototyping technology (RP). This research would give an improvement over existing standard of IV cannula. The generated design from this research will improve the handling of IV cannula as well as ensuring its safety during the operation of IV cannula.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the automotive industry and how it ripe for disruption. By examining the current state of the industry and how technology will shape the future of the car, this paper outlines why the automotive industry is ready to be disrupted and provides insights as to whom the major players may be in the future and why. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses examples from companies and the media to identify how the automotive industry is ready to be disrupted. Findings This paper identifies that the automotive industry is ready to be disrupted. With Tesla having secured over 400,000 pre-orders for its new Model 3 sedan, there is a movement that will pave the way to a new era of the automobile. Practical implications This paper demonstrates that a new way of thinking is needed for top managers at traditional automakers. In this paper, a new way of thinking about the future of the car is presented. Originality/value This paper takes a new perspective on what the future of the automobile may resemble and the companies that will likely be involved as a result of the disruption in the industry.

Sustainable Product

The remanufacturability of product mainly depends on product design and development strategy. Good design will use environmentally favorable materials and produce products with high remanufacturability. But now, most products are designed without considering the recycling and remanufacturing process. It is necessary to study manufacturers product design behavior to find measures to encourage the adoption of remanufacturing techniques including product design methods, the Finite Element Method of bonded strength, failure mechanism of materials, surface engineering techniques and so on. Sustainable product design and development behavior of manufacturer population in remanufacturing was studied. An evolutionary game model with government subsidies was set up. And the evolutionary stable strategies were analyzed under different ranges of values of relative parameters. The results indicated that government subsidies were essential to make manufacturers develop sustainable product and large subsidies always worked well. Especially the results showed that small subsidies also worked under certain conditions, which including the initial state of manufacturer population and the relationship of government subsidies and manufacturers revenues under different product development strategies.

Product development by integrating consumer needs, technical capabilities and resources will enhance industrial competitiveness in era of globalization. Theme of this study is application of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to develop design of tire products with consider fuel-efficient, safe and comfortable using. Based on primary data through questionnaires, there are 9 attributes that are desirable for consumers. In addition, through the brainstorming method, obtained 10 attributes that become technical specifications that can be developed into the product design. By arranging House of Quality (HOQ), the priority attributes of product design and development are light tires (20%), thin dimension (18%), synthetic rubber (14%), soft compounds (13%) and Smooth grip (11%).

The fields of design and engineering both contribute to product design and development. Increasingly design teams require an integrated approach in environments where mutual understanding and respect replace traditional professional rivalries. These new synergies both enhance communication and understanding between designers and engineers and lead engineering into new areas of professional activity. Engineers are integral to the product development process, but change in product development and manufacturing requires new responsibilities; design engineers must assume a greater role to achieve successful product realisation. However, to be effective engineers must develop new skills; creative design ability, understanding of societal and environmental impacts and a human-centred approach. These themes, not typically addressed by engineering curricula are evident in a new approach to engineering education - product design engineering. This chapter addresses issues confronting product design and development and examines the emergence of this new engineering professional in response.
