4. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
New product development (NPD) is the complete process of bringing a
new product to market. New product development is described in the literature
as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for
sale and it can be tangible (that is, something physical you can touch) or
intangible (like a service, experience, or belief). A good understanding of
customer needs and wants, the competitive environment and the nature of the
market represent the top required factors for the success of a new product.
Cost, time and quality are the main variables that drive the customer needs.
Aimed at these three variables, companies develop continuous practices and
strategies to better satisfy the customer requirements and increase their market
share by a regular development of new products. There are many uncertainties
and challenges throughout the process which companies must face. The use of
best practices and the elimination of barriers to communication are the main
concerns for the management of NPD process.
5. NPD MODELS
6 One of the first developed models that today companies still use in the NPD process is
the Booz, Allen and Hamilton (BAH) Model, published in 1982.
The seven steps of BAH model are: new product strategy, idea generation, screening and
evaluation, business analysis, development, testing, and commercialization.
The Stage-Gate model developed in the 1980s was proposed as a new tool for
managing new products development processes. The 2010 APQC benchmarking study
reveals that 88% of U.S. businesses employ a stage-gate system to manage new
products, from idea to launch. In return, the companies that adopt this system are
reported to receive benefits such as improved teamwork, shorter cycle time, improved
success rates, earlier detection of failure, a better launch. These findings highlight the
importance of the stage-gate model, making it the single most important discovery in the
area of new product development.
6. STAGES OF NPD
The eight stages of NPD are:
Idea generation
Idea screening
Idea development & testing
Bussiness analysis
Market testing
Technical implementation
Commercialization
New product pricing
7. DOCUMENTATION
PRODUCTION PART APPROVAL PROCESS:
INTRODUCTION:
Since Rajhans Pressing Pvt. Ltd. is a vendor company which supply the parts to various
automotive Company. To insure the quality and standard of product that customer
required is maintain with the help of PPAP document. PPAP documentation help the
customer to know about the current status of part and what are the processes required to
manufacture the product the Customer tolerance limits are also defined in these
documents, according to these tolerances Limits Part is manufactured and gauge
required checking its dimension is also within these Tolerance Limits.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is used in the automotive supply chain
establishing confidence in component suppliers and their production processes.
Measurements are taken of the parts produced are used to complete the various test
sheetsof PPAP. Although individual manufacturers have their own particular
requirements, therefore
The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has developed a common PPAP
standard as part of the advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) – and encouraging
the use of common
Terminology and standard forms to document project status. The PPAP process is
designed to demonstrate that the component supplier has developed their design and
production process to meet the client's requirements, minimizing the risk of failure by
effective use of APQP. Requests for part approval must therefore be supported in official
PPAP format and with documented results when needed .
8. PURPOSE
The purpose of any Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is to ensure that a
supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements of the parts
supplied to the customer.
To provide evidence that the customer engineering design record and
specification & requirements are clearly understood and fulfilled by the
supplier.
To demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to
produce the part that consistently meets all requirements during the actual
production run at the quoted production rate.
There are a total of 18 elements which are described as:
9. PPAP ELEMENTS
DESIGN RECORD:
A printed copy of drawing needs to be provided. If the customer is responsible for
designing, this is a copy of customer drawing that is sent together with the Purchase
Order (PO). If supplier is responsible for designing this is a released drawing in
supplier's release system. "Each and every feature must be “ballooned” or “road
mapped” to correspond with the inspection results (including print notes, standard
tolerance notes and specifications, and anything else relevant to the design of the
part).
Authorized Engineering Change (note) Documents:
A document that shows the detailed description of the change. Usually this
document is called "Engineering Change Notice", but it may be covered by
the customer PO or any other engineering authorization .
Engineering Approval:
This approval is usually the Engineering trial with production parts
.Performed at the customer plant. A "temporary deviation" usually is
required to send parts to customer before PPAP. Customer may require
other "Engineering Approvals".
