This paper, through a wide approach of Product Development Process (PDP) renowned methodologies, proposes a conceptual model to serve as a guide in the elaboration, management and implementation of research and development (R&D) projects classified by the R&D Program of Brazilian Electricity Sector which is regulated by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL). Product development methodologies can be applied to narrow the relationship between academy and industry ensuring results directed to the product, with reduction of costs and development time better suited to the customers needs, fulfilling integrally, at the same time, the Innovation Chain proposed by ANEEL R&D Program in the achievement of new technologies for the electricity sector.

The appropriate iteration process model is the basis for managing and optimizing the product development process. In this article, we attempt to introduce the concept of process effectiveness and process value. The relationship between rework probability and process effectiveness is discussed. The evolution function of process effectiveness is proposed to drive the overlapped iteration process of multi-coupled activities. The evolution process with input information update is studied, and a simulation model is presented to obtain the accurate iteration process of development. It is useful to analyze the risks during development, and has good flexibility and versatility. The calculation method of process value for overlapped iteration process is given, and an optimization model for product development process is provided. The model is used to improve the development process of the stamping die of a car roof. With the model, we can get a suitable overlapping rate of multi-coupled activities to improve development performance.

O presente artigo pretende investigar de que forma as mudanças no comportamento do mercado e o crescimento da consciência ambiental tem feito com que os consumidores mudem sua postura e exijam das empresas uma readequação de processos com vistas a adotar métodos de gestão mais alinhados com a questão da sustentabilidade e principalmente dos impactos ambientais de suas ações. Sendo assim, o principal objetivo deste artigo é compreender de que maneira empresas de diferentes segmentos estão implementando os conceitos e ferramentas de ecodesign em seus processos de desenvolvimento de produto. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento teórico em periódicos da área, além de um estudo exploratório de campo baseado em entrevistas em profundidade, que mostrou que a motivação das empresas para a adoção de práticas de ecodesign ainda é limitada a cumprir exigências legais, ou como forma de redução de custos. Sob uma perspectiva mercadológica percebe-se que o marketing exerce pouca influência na relação entre o ecodesign e o processo de desenvolvimento de produtos.   This article intends to investigate how changes in market behavior and the growth of environmental awareness have made consumers to change their posture and demand from companies a process readjustment with a view to adopt management methods more in line with sustainability and especially the environmental impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to understand how companies from different segments are implementing ecodesign concepts and tools in their product development processes. For that, a theoretical survey was carried out, as well as an exploratory field study based on in-depth interviews, which showed that the motivation of companies for the adoption of ecodesign practices is still limited to complying legal requirements, or as way of reducing costs.  From a marketing perspective, it is perceived that marketing has little influence on the relationship between ecodesign and product development process.

Abstract Education in design has become a major priority in modern mechanical engineering curriculums. In particular, design education has focused on using good design methodology to produce optimum solutions, promote innovation, and encourage creativity in the engineer. There are other facets of the design engineer’s position that should also be emphasized at the education level. First, design engineers must be aware of the manufacturing processes that will be used to turn their concepts into working solutions. Second, they must understand how prototypes of those solutions fit into the overall product development process, and how new technologies such as Rapid Prototyping can enhance it. Finally, they must be able to effectively communicate their design intent, both graphically, verbally, and in writing, at all stages of the product development process. These three essential engineering skills, with special emphasis given to the last two and their place in design education, are covered in this paper.

Abstract This model estimates the probability of completing a product development process over time. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) framework is used to capture the information dependencies between tasks using the concepts of Probability of Change and Impact. The model incorporates a stochastic element that represents the likelihood of changes resulting in task iterations. The model captures the dynamic behavior of a product development process formed by a combination of parallel, serial and coupled tasks. The model relaxes the assumption that coupled tasks take place in a complete parallel or serial iteration. It can be used to compare the development time of the project for different task sequences and overlapping degrees. This tool allows for identification of the leverage points in the system, providing information about the most effective way to reduce development time. This project was a joint effort with a Hewlett-Packard division, and the observations and practical application presented are based on this field experience.

Since customer’s demand is various and product life cycle is getting shorter, many manufacturing company is trying to reduce product development time and cost. The processes of product development involve a large number of components and the interaction of multiple technologies. For the above reasons, companies make an effort to design product on collaborative environment. The various activities in a product development are highly distributed. This distributed nature of the activities implies that teams will be working in different place and technical environment. Thus at a given time, teams might work on the same product from different perspectives. This will require efficient communication amongst the various individuals and the various software tools that are used by them. Therefore, there is a need for collaborative system that can support distributed design such that participants from different background collaborate towards one common goal. IT (Information Technology) is the foundation for collaborative system. In this paper the development of an enterprise-specific collaboration-strategy including process oriented co-operations in product development will be presented. This strategy particularly comprises new customer-oriented functionalities, tools for supporting collaborative product development as well as a systematic support for an implementation of collaborative system.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between eco-innovation process and knowledge management (KM) from the perspective of tools and practices, in the initial stages of the product development process. Knowledge management can help to develop behaviours and practices that stimulate green knowledge and improve organisations’ eco-innovation performance. The analysis of the relationship between eco-innovation process and knowledge management in the initial stages of the product development process was performed using three tools: the Standard Design Process Form (SDPS), The STRETCH Methodology and the Product Ideas Tree (PIT) Diagram. The results show that the eco-innovation tools contribute significantly to the creation of knowledge in the early stages of the product development process, as evidenced in the selection of the best ideas and in the reduction of uncertainties on environmental and market opportunities.

This research practically investigates on how to reduce development time, development cost and also improve prototype quality in ceramic production. The researcher used an experimental approach, by first investigating and analysing the conventional method used by ceramics manufacturers in product development. This was achieved with several visits to three ceramic factories in Kelantan, Malaysia. After which a digital method was developed by introducing computer-aided design (CAD) into three stages in development process. In order to test the viability of the CAD introduced, the digital method was used to develop prototypes of ceramic products selected from the three ceramic factories. Finally, a comparison was done between conventional and digital method based on development time, development cost and prototype quality. This reveals that digital method can successfully reduce development time and improve prototype quality in ceramic product development process. However, the comparison also reveals that digital method is more expensive than the conventional method used by the factories in ceramic product development.
