This document summarizes a study on improving outcomes in medical device manufacturing. It found that the most successful companies grew more than 10% while improving key metrics like quality and costs. These "advancers" used tools like product lifecycle management (PLM) software to facilitate concurrent, collaborative new product development. PLM helped advancers automate information flows and simulate quality by design, leading to reduced defects and faster time to market. The study concludes that taking a total product lifecycle approach focused on innovation, quality, and information sharing is needed to improve both business performance and patient outcomes.

Agile Is Killing Me! Product Camp Austin 2010Paul Brownell
Agile is killing me! - Managing your time when development goes Agile
When software engineering transforms to an Agile methodology, big changes are in store for Product Managers. The planning process becomes a regular occurrence instead of a once-a-year event. The requirements process morphs from lots of documentation up front to continuous conversations and progressive elaboration. All of these changes can wreak havoc on a Product Manager's schedule and can blur the lines of responsibility beyond recognition. The workload can increase more than 60%, especially if you have both Product Manager and Product Owner responsibilities.
In this session we will share successful techniques to adapt to Agile including: dealing with role conflict, adapting to global engineering teams, and organizational models. This will be presented in a Town Hall format, where the audience will also be invited to offer their best practices for each of the challenges discussed.
Paul Brownell leads the Software Process practice for Growth Acceleration Partners, a management consulting and outsourcing firm headquartered in Austin. Paul is an experienced software executive and practitioner of Agile methods since 2001. As Product Line Director at BMC Software, Paul successfully led SCRUM teams distributed across India, Israel, and the United States.

Here are the key takeaways about understanding the people in the light commercial segment:
- Light commercial customers have different priorities and perspectives than CLIENT's defined consumer target. Their focus is on their business, not home cleaning.
- A business' maturity level influences their willingness to take risks and try new technologies. Less mature sole proprietors may be most open but also most risk averse.
- Businesses can be grouped into three typologies - sole proprietors, team clean businesses, and outsourcers - which inform how the value of a robotic cleaner should be conveyed. Fulfilling emotional motivations while alleviating deterrents will be important for success.

The document appears to be the results of a questionnaire given to an audience about the genre of social realism films. The results show that most of the audience has some basic understanding of social realism and what themes and issues it explores. However, some in the audience do not watch social realism films often and certain aspects like depictions of realistic but difficult situations can put some viewers off. Most of the audience says they would be open to watching another social realism film, especially if it helps them better understand real-life issues.

4. Characteristics of well-designed service systems and challenges in service design.
This document discusses process selection and facility layout. It covers product design and how it defines key characteristics. It also discusses process selection as developing the necessary process to produce the designed product. Several factors that affect process design are discussed, including nature of demand, degree of vertical integration, production flexibility, automation, and quality. Different process flow structures like project, job shop, batch, assembly line and continuous are described. The product development process and tools to improve speed to market are outlined. Designing for factors like ease of production, quality and new services is covered. Finally, service process technology based on customer contact and labor/capital intensity is explained.
Lean manufacturing focuses on eliminating waste to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It involves identifying value-added activities for the customer and removing all other unnecessary activities. Some key aspects covered are:
1. Common wastes include transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, overprocessing, and defects.
2. Lean tools like 5S, kanban systems, value stream mapping, and continuous improvement help optimize processes.
3. Designing products for manufacturability and using robust design principles can improve production and quality.
The document discusses various aspects of product and service design. It covers trends in design such as increased emphasis on customer satisfaction and environmental concerns. It describes the design process from idea generation to testing prototypes. Key aspects discussed include quality function deployment to understand customer needs, concurrent engineering, and designing for manufacturability. The document also compares differences between designing tangible products versus intangible services.
The document discusses various aspects of product and service design including:
1) The product selection process involves research, development, design, testing and marketing research before a product is launched.
2) Product design should be closely tied to an organization's strategy and focus on customer satisfaction as well as functional, cost, quality and other factors.
3) Products and services go through life cycles of introduction, growth, maturity, and decline with changing demand over time.

RAD works with clients to bring the concept from
rendering stage to approved design stage
Digital spec sheets are created, and are used and
updated throughout the remainder of the sourcing

process for client/factory interactions, iterative
changes, and updated approvals *
RAD can generate or regenerate existing renderings, drawings, etc. Or, if customer has own design department,
and has existing, detailed specs, this can save time in our overall process.

16. 16 D ELIVERY
Once our team in China has approved the
completed production, finished orders are packed
and shipped according to clients’ requirements
By sea, 28‐45 days from China port to final destination *
By air, 4‐7 days from China port to final destination **
Total concept delivery times will vary, depending on
the order, and how much development is required
* Because of the nature of International commerce and trade, there can be unforeseen variables with regard to Export and Import
countries’ Customs Clearances, transfers of goods, etc that can add to the total length of time it takes for orders to arrive to final
destination. It is advisable for clients to add 2‐4 weeks to their absolute “need date”, to avoid damaging financial exposure to
such issues.
** Air freight costs can be prohibitively costly – Most orders are quoted using Sea Freight assumptions, unless client specifically
requires air freight expediting. Weight and dimensions of freight can make Air Freight a better or worse option, depending on
density.
