The majority of the new products on the planet are editions, versions of what previously existed. But every so often there is a new technology or a new idea that needs to become a manufactured product. For this occasion, for this particular kind of design project, there is a methodology. NPD, short for New Product Development, is the way, the systematic process, to develop new products. Dyson had an idea of a bagless vacuum, but from his idea, his mock up, to a factory producing the familiar Dyson Vacs was a journey of a few decades. It can take that long. This is why there is a focus on ways of developing new products.
地球上的大多数新产品都是以前现有产品的版本。 但时不时就会有新技术或新想法出现，需要将其转化为成品。 对于这种情况，对于这种特定类型的设计项目，有一种方法论。 NPD是新产品开发的缩写，是开发新产品的方法和系统过程。 戴森有一个无袋吸尘器的想法，但从他的想法到模型，再到生产我们熟悉的戴森吸尘器的工厂，花了几十年的时间。 可能需要那么长时间。 这就是为什么人们关注开发新产品的方法。
