ÜRETİM YÖNETİMİ

Maturity: When the product is mature, competition is high in the market. Although many changes are made during the introduction and growth phases, some minor changes can be made in the product design if necessary and costs are low and productivity is high in this phase.

There are many products in different stages of the product life cycle in the market. The followings are some examples for them.
• 3D TVs in the introduction phase
• Blu Ray discs in the growth phase
• DVD and flash disks in the maturity phase
• Video cassette and floppy disc in the decline phase

The followings are some of the essential activities and responsibilities of a product design:
• Reflect customer needs and requirements to product requirements
• Refine or modify current products
• Develop new products
• Formulate quality goals and cost targets
• Construct and test prototypes
• Document specifications
• Translate product specifications into process specifications.

Implement a concept: The selected concept takes a form through purchased
components, manufactured parts and assembled as a product. This is called
embodiment engineering. Embodiment involves modeling and testing of the
physical construction.

Innovation is the successful application of new ideas in practice in the form of new or improved products, processes.

Concept development: The concept is elaborated and missing and incomplete
information is collected. The design team explores the key strategic questions based on collected information.

Mistake proofing, or Poka-Yoke is the use of any automatic device or method that either makes it impossible for an error to occur or makes the error immediately obvious once it has occurred.

To build thehouse of quality, the following seven basic steps need to be followed:
1. Identify customer needs and requirements
2. Identify how the goods will satisfy customer needs and requirements.
3. Relate customer needs and requirements to product hows by building a matrix.
4. Identify relationships between the company’s hows.
5. Determine importance ratings.
6. Evaluate competing products.
7. Determine the desirable technical attributes, company’s attributes, and the competitor’s performanceagainst these attributes.

Value analysis is also known as value engineering, is a design methodology developed by General Electric in 1947 that focuses on the function of the product, rather than on its structure or form.

Job-shop processes: Generally job shop operates on a relatively small scale. In jobshop processes a high variety products in small batches with different processing requirements are produced.
