Concept selection is the most critical aspect of the entire product development process. However, many industries are not aware of this, or they might not possess essential knowledge about concept selection. Thus, this study aims to identify the concept selection method used by a series of particular areas within the manufacturing industry. In this study, the researcher conducted interviews with six managers from various production areas in the manufacturing industry. Then, the obtained data were analyzed qualitatively. The concept selection methods used for product design and development in the manufacturing industry were found to be based on various factors, including orders received, building and evaluating prototypes, discussion among executives, market demand, trial and error and the market’s standard deviation. This study serves as a guideline to help managers to evaluate concepts in a more practical way.

With the rapid development of science and technology and the increasingly fierce market competition, product design and development has been paid much attention. At the same time, because of people's aesthetic awareness and the continuous improvement of quality life, people show too much favor in technique, human oriented design and artistry, which can also become the essential means for companies to compete in the market. Starting from the market demand perspective, taking the human oriented design and interesting design into consideration, and combining native culture and new material, this article provides a new idea of future product design and development.

Data Driven Modeling

The materials and manufacturing industry is undergoing transformation through adoption of various digital technologies. Though the adoption of digital platforms for operational needs is significant, their adoption for core design and development of products and their manufacturing are limited. While the use of physics and data-driven modeling-and-simulation tools is increasing, these are not systematically leveraged for larger benefit. Besides these tools, product design and development requires deep contextual knowledge necessitating systematic capture of data and knowledge. To achieve this, we need flexible digital platforms that enable integration of diverse design domains and tools through a common semantic basis and construction of engineering decision workflows leveraging various simulation tools and knowledge. This chapter builds these requirements through presenting three case studies from the materials manufacturing industry and presents requirements for a digital platform. Finally, one such platform, TCS PREMAP, being developed by the authors is described in some detail.

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.

Research Findings

User research in all its forms—from early ethnographic studies to late stage usability validation studies— undoubtedly can add value to any product design and development process. At its best, user research is tightly integrated with the design process, and designers and other team members eagerly seek out research findings to guide design decisions. At its worst, user research can hinder rather than help the efforts of the larger product design and development team—answering the wrong questions, providing misleading information, and focusing attention on issues that are not critical to product success. This can lead to friction between researchers and designers and other members of the product development team. This panel addresses the challenges of integrating user research into the product development process in a way that truly adds value, while suggesting ways to avoid common pitfalls that can result in user research leading designers astray.
