Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

The airline business in Thailand
continues to prosper as the number
of visitors to Thailand increase. The
expansion of Thai Airlines is mainly
driven by dramatic rise in the demand
for low cost carriers. Currently, the
market share of low-cost airlines
contributes to only about 30% of the
total market share, which showcases

5. Maintenance, Repair,
and Overhaul (MRO)
Largely Untapped Maintenance,
Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Sector
An increase in overall air traffic and
the population’s increasing use of low-
cost airlines signify the fiscal promise
that exists in Thailand, not only in
aviation but also in its multi-billion dollar
aircraft service maintenance, repair, and
overhaul (MRO) sector.
Commercial airlines’
M R O e x p e n s e s a re
estimated to reach USD
12 billion by 2024 in the
Asia-Pacific region, and
approximately 6.3%
of that expenditure is
forecast to occur in
Thailand1
. Hence, Thailand
welcomes numerous
foreign investors in the
MRO business as this fast-
growing business still has
immense opportunity for
growth.
Over this decade (2015-2024),
Thailand’s MRO expenditure has been
forecasted to reach a total amount
of USD 10.6 billion. With Thailand’s
location at the heart of ASEAN, and
the presence of an extensive network
of international airports all around
the country, Thailand’s MRO market
is expected to expand even further
with new investments in Research and
Development (R&D) and high technology
machineries.

Forecast, Thailand 2015-20243
In 2015, the total MRO
expenditure in Thailand
was USD 771.9 million
or only around 40%
of the total Thai MRO
expenditure is spent in
Thailand. The opportunity
on investment in services
such as engine, line
airframes and core parts
maintenance are still high.
This leaves room for substantial growth
for multinational MRO companies in
Thailand.
Thailand’s present MRO focus is
on components, engines, and line
maintenance; the top five components
that are expected to bring in the most
capital to Thailand MRO
market includes LG wheels &
brakes, APU, IFE components,
engine-fuel and control, and
landing gear. These five
components have been
forecasted to generate more
than USD 1.7 billion over the
next 10 years (2015-2024)2
.

WHY THAILAND?
Expanding the
Thai Aviation Sector
The expansion planned for U-Tapao-
Pattaya International Airport covers
over 400 hectares and will be tailored
to serve the aerospace and aviation
industry providing excellent options
for a range of related companies.
Combining a bonded free trade zone
with direct runway access and an
intermodal freight rail yard, aerospace
businesses can take full advantage of
U-Tapao’s two Code F runways as well
having easy access to large industrial
estates 30 km to the north in addition
to two major ports (Laem Chabang and
Maptaphut).
The Industry Zone Plan Includes
4 Relevant Components:
1Maintenance, Repair, &
Overhaul (MRO) Hub
A 92 hectare MRO hub with a dedicated
apron for all hangars, additional aircraft
parking areas, and 24/7 runway access.
Planned for up to 12 Code F hangar
bays and three major workshops.
Landside access is via a dedicated
U-Tapao Airport Industry Zone access
road that in the future will link directly
to the extension of Highway 7.
2Free Trade Zone
A 230 hectare bonded free trade
zone with direct connections to cargo
terminals and a MRO hub. This zone is
intended as a major distribution center
as well as a destination for aerospace
OEMs and other high value export-
oriented industries. Within the zone
is a 15 hectare commercial cluster for
services, amenities, and offices as well
as a dedicated customs office. There is
also an intermodal freight terminal with a
direct rail link that will eventually provide
access to the greater Mekong region.
3Cargo Zone
With 70 hectares, this zone has a
dedicated apron area for all terminal
facilities and space to provide
traditional terminals, dedicated
specialist processing facilities, and air
cargo express trans-shipment hubs.
An airside tunnel connects directly to
the passenger terminal providing easy
access for belly-hold cargo.
4Aviation Training Center
A 32 hectare aviation training center will
provide more than just pilot and airline
crew training. Dedicated maintenance
and technical staff training will provide
a capable employee resource pool for
aerospace firms seeking to establish a
presence in Southeast Asia.
9. Robust Human Resources
Human resources represent another key consideration with respect to making
investments. Thailand offers abundant, highly-skilled labor at competitive costs
compared to other Asia-Pacific countries, lowering the cost of production for
foreign companies.

.
