Successful Product
#1 The sales volume will pick up gradually and peak after some time. The
product will continue to sell for some time.
#2 The sales will then start gradually declining owing to availability of better
products in the market. It is time for the company to introduce a new and
improved product in the market as well as to retire the old product.
#3 The companies will usually advice the customers that the old product will
be further supported by the sales and service department only for a limited
period of time.

Design Stage
design department who carefully designs each assembly and each
component of the assembly.
Detailed design analysis and optimization is carried out at this stage. A
design may have several variants.
The design department creates these designs through a top down
approach or a bottom up approach.
In top down approach, the entire assembly is designed first and
individual designs are done latter. In bottom up approach, the
component design is done first and the product is realized by
assembling the components suitably.
Engineering the product consists of process planning, tool design, facility
design, capacity planning, quality assurance activities, procurement,
assembly planning, etc.
Marketing Stage
have the responsibility of carrying out appropriate product launch
activities as well as planning the sales and service network,
advertising and training of sales and service personnel.
Concurrent Engineering
Concurrent engineering/ Simultaneous Engineering / Parallel Engineeing is a
methodology of restructuring the product development activity in a manufacturing
organization using a cross functional team approach
is a technique adopted to improve the efficiency of product design and reduce the
product development cycle time.
brings together a wide spectrum of people from several functional areas in the
design and manufacture of a product
Representatives from R & D, engineering, manufacturing, materials
management, quality assurance, marketing, vendor development etc. develop
the product as a team.
Everyone interacts with each other from the start, and they perform their
tasks in parallel.
Intensive teamwork between product development, production planning and
manufacturing is essential for satisfactory implementation of concurrent engineering.
The teamwork also brings additional advantages ; the co-operation between
various specialists and systematic application of special methods such as QFD
(Quality Function Deployment), DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) and
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) ensures quick optimization of design and
early detection of possible faults in product and production planning.
CE can be defined as
Integrated approach to product-design that
takes into account all stages of a products life
cycle from design to disposal including costs,
quality, testing, user needs, customer support,
and logistics

The CE Approach
Focuses on optimizing and distributing
resources within a company or unit during
design and development
Collaboration is required
Involves implementation, appraisal, and
continuous improvement initiatives
Must be applied throughout a system to be
successful (requires strong leadership)
managed,
measured,
monitored
modified
to achieve continuous improvement.
PLM helps manufacturers acquire the capability to collaborate internally (within the
organization) and externally (outsourcing partners or vendors) collaborate on
product development, manufacture, market and service till the retirement of the
product, consistently maintaining the highest possible efficiency throughout the
value chain.
Product Life Cycle Management is a total production system that tracks a product
from inception to disposal
Product
Lifecycle
Components of PLM
Engineering Design
Design management - Design, validation using CAE
Engineering process - CAD drawing realase, CAM
Change management- Design changes,process changes, roles changes
Design colloboration from multi sites
Knowledge management and process automation
Design iterative data
documentation
versions control
product structure and configuration management
archiving and creating a knowlege respositary
Product visualisation
visualization and collaboration capabilities enable team members to view the digital mock up
or exchange their representations
Aesthetics and ergonomics - concept team to design and sales service involvement
Real time collaboration
Secure,adoptive and user friendly real time collaborative enables rapidness in all functional
areas
Project Management
Assessing and capturing customer requirements
Supply Chain management
PLM integrates the procurement/outsourcing related processes with the rest of the
engineering
The product development teams can assess through various functionalities the
design content, cost efficiency, product quality and suppliers capabilities
Manufacturing
Planning for assembly process, factory layout , robot programming, worker safety
and ergonomic studies
Servicing capability
