Nature and purpose of design

• Products, services and the processes which produce them all


have to be designed.

• Decisions taken during the design of a product or service will


have an impact on the decisions taken during the design of

UK Design Council Survey findings
• Design helps businesses connect strongly with their customers.
• 90 per cent of businesses growing rapidly say design is significant to them,
only 26 percent of static companies say the same.
• Design reduces costs by making processes more efficient. It can also reduce
the time to market for new products and services.
• Almost 70 per cent of companies seeing design as integral have developed
new products and services in the last three years, compared to only a third of
businesses overall.
• Companies who were ‘effective users of design’ had financial performances
200 per cent better than average.

Slide 9
Concept Generation

• Ideas from customers formally through marketing activities.


• Listening to customers – on a day-to-day basis
• Ideas from competitor activity – for example, reverse
engineering
• Ideas from staff – especially those who meet customers every
day
• Ideas from research and development

Process Types

Manufacturing Process Types

Slide 12
Project Processes
• One-off, complex, large scale, high work content ‘products’
• Specially made, ‘every one customized’
• Defined start and finish: time, quality and cost objectives
• Many different skills have to be coordinated

Slide 13
Jobbing Processes
• Very small quantities: ‘one-offs’, or only a few required
• Specially made. High variety, low repetition. ‘Strangers every
one customized’
• Skill requirements are usually very broad
• Skilled jobber, or team, complete whole product

Slide 14
Batch Processes
• Higher volumes and lower variety than for jobbing
• Standard products, repeating demand. But can make specials
• Specialized, narrower skills
• Set-ups (changeovers) at each stage of production

Slide 15
Mass (Line) Processes
• Higher volumes than batch
• Standard, repeat products (‘runners’)
• Low and/or narrow skills
• No set-ups or almost instantaneous ones

Slide 16
Continuous Processes
• Extremely high volumes and low variety: often single product
• Standard, repeat products (‘runners’)
• Highly capital-intensive and automated
• Few changeovers required
• Difficult and expensive to start and stop the process
