Kelas : S1 MTU 2012 Nim : 22411209 The design of new products in the supply chain management perspective
In a supply chain perspective, the design of new products is one of the vital function that is parallel with other functions such as material procurement, production, and distribution.
According to Fisher, the function of the supply chain is basically divided into physical function and market mediation function. Designing new products included in the group market mediation function with market research activities, and after-sales service. said, because the design of the product is an attempt to accommodate the aspirations of the customers so that the products will conform to the desired Desire diverse customers and higher as well as intense competition encourages companies to increasingly innovative in creating new products. Consumer tastes are dynamic with the ability to anticipate supply chain life cycle resulting in innovative products become increasingly shorter. Product life cycles are getting shorter carries many implications for how companies compete in the market and how to manage supply chain activities.
Time To Market Factors For Competitive Advantage
In handling innovative products, speed of launching new designs are very important. Time To Market is the time between the idea of product design in the product began to be marketed. The process from idea to design a search could be ready to launch a long and frequent repetitions to tailor the design to the latest information obtained by the designer. Phases of activity in the design of new products, in general are:Idea Generation :
Business / Technical Assesment Product Concept Product Engineering & Design Prototype Design Test & Pilot Production Manufacturing Ramp Up Launch
The length of time between an idea to launch a new product to markets vary from one product to the other products.There are many ways you can do the company to shorten Time To Market, is 1) The involvement of many parties including representatives of the (functional) within the company and external parties such as suppliers and customers, 2) good project management, 3) Team 3 solid product designer, dynamic, and energetic, as well as, 4) technology that supports.
Keterlibatan pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan sangat penting dilakukan seawal mungkin untuk menghindari adanya perubahan mendasar pada rancangan produk setelah memasuki fase-fase akhir
Dalam rangka mengurangi pengulangan-pengulangan yang mahal dan lama, berbagai aktivitas yang terkait dengan perancangan dan peluncuran produk baru dikerjakan lebih dini. 1) Misalnya, perancangan proses manufaktur sudah dimulai sebelum rancangan produk selesai dibuat. 2) Praktek yang melibatkan fungsi-fungsi lain sejak dini dalam perancangan produk serta secara simultan melakukan kegiatan yang tadinya dikerjakan secara sequential (satu sesudah yang lain) dinamakan dengan concurrent engineering
Supplier Involvement Designing New Products
Traditionally, suppliers are often chosen after draft Products are completed and ready for production. Today, many companies are choosing suppliers before Product design process begins so that the supplier can be involved in product design. They are required to give ten pliers input material what is suitable for the design of new products and whether The suppliers will be supplying material needed. Survey conducted by Handfield et al. (1999) showed that the involvement of key suppliers clalam process New product design offers significant benefits. Some of the benefits include cost savings materials, improving the quality and compatibility of materials with their designs, as well as reduction in design time and manufacturing time. According to Handfield & Nichols (2002), not all suppliers have to involved early in the design of new products. Supplier for complex items and suppliers critical need to be involved from the beginning, whereas suppliers for materials or components that are simple and relatively standard could be involved only in the final phases of product design. Of course, suppliers need to be INVOLVED early if they have the skills (expertise) that can provide significant input input in the development of new products.
Financial Impact of New Product Delays
Financial Impact of Delay Delay in launching new products into the market could brought many negative effects. First, competitors may also launch new products and can capture market share early. Second, an extension of time in designing new products could resulting in huge cost overrun. As a result, as shown in Figure 3.2, the company not just late getting income (revenue) of new products, but also have to cover the costs greater development. As a result, a slight delay in launching products to result in a large enough market to delay the company New point.oduk achieve breakeven conditions
design for supply chain management
Nowadays transportation and inventory costs is supply chain cost drivers (cost driver supply chain) that large portion. Therefore, the things that need to be considered in designing new products should not only issue easy to manufacture, sell feasibility, cost, and time development of the draft, but also other things such as environmental aspects and aspects of the supply chain management. The design of products that consider supply chain management is called design for SCM In general design for SCM consider things like: Ease to store, send, and restore the product Design flexibility to changes in the customer demand Modularity: the number of components or the same capital that can used to make different end products Aspects of localization: the draft is concerned whether or not most of the final assembly activities (finalization) conducted in the area marketing Reuseability of draft Some large companies use the principles The in designing their products.
Activities to complement the printer with user guide speaking local (national) as well as the power supply assembly called localization. As shown in Figure 3.3 below, was HP manufactures printers and perform localization processes in the plant. Existing distribution centers in various countries simply do distribution activities. Due to the long delivery lead times, often demand distributor turns on when the printer is in journey from the factory to the distribution center. However, because it is through the localization process, the excess product in one country can not be shipped to other countries (except by re- localization process). Given the costs incurred by the forecast errors Such large enough, HP finally changing supply activities
Review
A product design is not just enough to be seen from the aspect of technical production and marketing, but also from aspekaspek supply chain management. New economic era characterized by intense competition require many companies to launch products new to the market quickly. It takes not only the ability to produce a draft good product, but also the ability to manage projects elisien product design and effective. In addition, the ability to manage the development and launch new products to the market is also determined by close cooperation between functions within the company and active involvement of parties outside the company, especially WHO suppliers will supply components, systems, or modulmodul are ready to be assembled.
