Product design touches every aspect of modern life, determining the
form and function of the products and technologies that we use
every day. Product design is not just concerned with the appearance
and functionality of products; it has an important role in
determining the cost, pricing, risk and profitability profile of
those products. Product Design and the Supply Chain shows how
decisions taken at the design stage of a product's life cycle go on
to affect that product's subsequent value to a company. Eighty
percent of a product's eventual supply chain costs are already
present at the early stages of product design and development. This
book allows companies to make informed design decisions that have
significant positive through-life implications for risk, complexity
and responsiveness, thus allowing them to create a 'moat' that is
difficult for competitors to sidestep or surmount. Product Design
and the Supply Chain contains fascinating content applicable to
industry. It is full of useful and insightful real-life cases and
examples. This book sets out to show how design impacts: sales
revenues, pricing, time to market, manufacturing and supply chain
costs, supply chain risks, brand loyalty, and competitiveness.
