Ulrich, Steven D. EppingerMcGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2012 - Design - 415 pages"This book contains material developed for use in the interdisciplinary courses on product development that we teach. Participants in these courses include graduate students in engineering, industrial design students, and MBA students. While we aimed the book at interdisciplinary graduate-level audiences such as this, many faculty teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in engineering design have also found the material useful. Product Design and Development is also for practicing professionals. Indeed, we could not avoid writing for a professional audience because most of our students are themselves professionals who have worked either in product development or in closely related functions. This book blends the perspectives of marketing, design, and manufacturing into a single approach to product development. As a result, we provide students of all kinds with an appreciation for the realities of industrial practice and for the complex and essential roles played by the various members of product development teams. For industrial practitioners, in particular, we provide a set of product development methods that can be put into immediate practice on development projects"-- Other editions - View allEBOOK: Product Design and Development

Eppinger teaches interdisciplinary courses online and on campus at both the Master's and executive levels in product design and innovation, engineering project management, and product management. Notably, he has created an interdisciplinary product development course in which graduate students from engineering, management, and industrial design programs collaborate to develop new products.

Eppinger's research is applied to improving complex technical project management. Recent work has focused on application of agile software development methods to a range of other industries. Prior research is the basis of the book titled Design Structure Matrix Methods and Applications (MIT Press). His research contributes to fields ranging from project management and systems engineering to product development and product management. He is one of the most widely cited scholars in the engineering design and technical management disciplines.

Steven D. Eppinger (born 1961) is an American engineer, and Professor of Management, Professor of Management Science and Innovation, and Professor of Engineering Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, known for his work on product design and product development.[1][2]

Research at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, resulted in a model for the design and selection of families of products that allow designers to quantify the value of alternative product families and select the ones that are more valuable to a firm. The model also accounts for uncertainty during development and commercialization of the products, while incorporating the effect of the design choices on the uncertain factors. At JPL, the model was used to evaluate alternative telecommunications platform investment decisions for spacecraft. It is now being considered for wider use at the laboratory.

At the Ford Motor Company, a pilot program of the modeling framework DOME (Distributed Object-based Modeling and Evaluation) was begun. DOME is an integrated product development tool that uses different "lenses," allowing a user to apply different criteria to evaluate a design problem. For example, a designer can use a lens to evaluate the performance of the design in terms of cost and safety. By creating appropriate representations of the design model, people from different domains, such as designers and managers, will be able to easily perceive the information and interconnections of complex models in the best way possible.

The center further enriched CIPD students' educational experiences with a lecture June 24, 1999, sponsored jointly by the center and IDSA Boston. "Designing a Brand: The Story of Kitchen Tools" drew an audience of about 100 people. Designers from Black & Decker Household Products and Ziba Design told the story of how their companies, worked together to design a new product line for Black & Decker. Their lecture illustrated how teamwork, communication, and industrial design are invaluable to the product development process. Many CIPD students in attendance had not previously considered or been exposed to the importance of industrial design. The collaboration between CIPD & IDSA Boston worked so well, it was decided that more joint activities would take place during the coming academic year.

Professor Steven Eppinger's course, "Product Design, Development and Management," held June 2125, 1999, presents the product development process as an information processing system in which customer needs can be efficiently transformed into successful product designs and manufacturing plans. In today's competitive marketplace, firms need to continually develop superior products and must be able to react quickly to technical and market changes. Product development capability has therefore become an essential element of successful business strategy.

The center and the Industrial Liaison Program, along with several other MIT programs and centers, sponsored the first annual Manufacturing and Engineering Conference at MIT on April 2021, 1999. This year's conference, entitled "Innovations in Product Development: Bringing Successful Products to Market: The Emerging Competitive Battleground," provided a special strategic briefing for senior manufacturing, engineering, technical, operations, and corporate executives. Led by noted academics and industry experts, the conference explored the progress being made in new ways to identity market opportunities, understand customers, design and deliver product portfolios and services, and better manage the product development process.

After determining a path and direction for the team, a product design and development methodology was employed as proposed by Ulrich and Eppinger [2]. The methodology involves a structured step-by-step method for creating a product based directly on needs expressed by the customer. The needs are interpreted based on interviews conducted directly with the customer(s). Once these needs have been interpreted and ranked, a Quality Function Deployment is performed which leads to generation of actual design concepts, engineering requirements, and technical specifications. Finally, a prototype is constructed to meet these specifications and needs. The primary customers were determined to be students with disabilities and those who teach them and supervise their development. The team interviewed ten individuals including teachers, parents, physical therapists, people with disabilities. On-site observations of the current process in operation were also conducted. The interviews and observations provided the insight necessary to determine that the six most important needs were that the device should be safe, reliable, durable, easy to load, keep students interested, and not jam. In addition, two other issues were that the device be manufacturable by the staff at Rosedale, and cost less than $100 to build. In order to achieve a design that focuses on the involvement and response of the students, it was necessary to analyze the needs and relate them to student involvement in the process. The device needs to be reliable so each can that is input into the device experiences a reduction in volume and exits the system in a repeatable and anticipated manner. Reliability directly relates to the ability of the design to maintain the interest of the students. Ease of loading is important to allow students with all levels of ability to use the device. Therefore, an entry point for the device that allows a margin of error would be beneficial. Lastly, one of the more important needs determined was that the device crush cans without jamming. The current machine jams approximately 20% of the time. The intent of the future design was to reduce, and possibly eliminate, any jamming that might occur. Although the needs addressed above were important, manufacturability and cost issues were imperative to the success of the design. The capability at Rosedale is limited by the tools and staff available. The school has a small woodworking shop consisting of two staff members who build products out of wood and plastic in addition to performing simple electrical assembly. This imposed a large constraint on the design. After determining the customer needs, the target specifications for the system were developed. These specifications were necessary in determining the guidelines for the design. These guidelines quantified aspects such as safety, forces, materials, and ergonomics. Given these specifications, solutions were developed for each function of the device. These solutions were rated against each other to determine how well each one satisfied the customer needs and combined to form the overall solution. Next, specific solution principles were generated to find ways to achieve the generalized solutions. Once this was accomplished, the solution principles were scored against each other with respect to the needs. The results were summed and the concepts with the highest scores were chosen. be457b7860
