Views of Successful Product Realization
Heroic Age– Creative geniuses,– Driven by their understanding of project needs, shielded
from management presentations, etc,– Put in long days and nights,– And create break though products

Views of Successful Product Realization
Heroic Age– Creative geniuses,– long days and nights,– etc– break though products
Repeatable Disciplined Product Realization– Talented people,– Following well understood processes – etc– break though products, time after time

LightSpeedTM CT Scanner
“Biggest breakthrough in CT in a decade,” Gary Glazer, Stanford“Biggest breakthrough in CT in a decade,” Gary Glazer, Stanford
GEs First DFSS System (‘98): Full Use of Six Sigma/DFSS Tools
• Key customer CTQs identified– Image quality– Speed– Software reliability– Patient comfort
• Disciplined systems approach: 90 system CTQs• 33 Six Sigma (DMAIC) or DFSS projects• Scorecard-driven• Part CTQs verified before systems integration
Leading-Edge Technology• World’s first 16-row CT detector• Multi-slice data acquisition• 64-bit RISC computer architecture• Long-life PerformixTM tube
Results • Better image quality
– Earlier, more reliable diagnoses – New applications: vascular imaging, pulmonary
embolism, multi-phase liver studies, ...• Much faster scanning:
– Head: from 1 min to 19 sec (9 million/ yr)– Chest/abdomen: from 3 min to 17 sec (4 million/yr)
• Clinical productivity up 50%• 10x improvement in software reliability• Patient comfort improved - shorter exam time• Development time shortened by 2 years • High market share; significant margin increase

Disciplined Product Realization “toll-gate” processes …
tools
Engineering/Business Decisions with everyone “on the same page”
Examples
• Multigeneration Product Planning
• Customer – Requirements Definition
• Technical Risk Management
• Management and Control of Defects
• Supplier Management
• Reliability Engineering

Toll Gate and “Concurrent Engineering” “Concurrent Engineering” is an “abstraction” of
effective interaction of cross functional teams

developing products ….

2. Technical Signoff, Order long lead itemsChecklist for tollgate 1:
• Program Definition• Program Plan• Program Resources• Production cost• Technical risk• Return on Investment
• When should we confirm that are no patent interferences?
• When should we review safety (sharp edges or pinching little fingers)?

Tool Example: Robust Design (Taguchi)
Reducing product failure is valuable - for the customer and for the business
Robust design– Rational decisions based on analysis and
“designed” experiments– Account for variability in manufacture and use
12
Robust Design and Appliances
All manufacturers take robust design concepts seriously But some do better than others, with some consistency

Business/Engineering Decisions - Quiz
• Rarely enough resources to hit all the targets – performance of the product (or service)
– cost of development and production
– time for development before the market window starts to close
Quiz
How do technical and business people in a world class competitive company respond when constraints close in? 1. Report to upper management that everything is fine, and start
circulating your resume
2. If the first prototype works, ship it and hope that the production units will all work too
3. Throw in the towel
4. Turn the experience into a Dilbert cartoon
5. Manage the conflicting requirements as part of a data-driven, disciplined process with engineers and managers on the same page
14
Process Discipline and Bureaucracy
All disciplined processes entail some bureaucracy
Some processes are clearly valuable, some are a waste of time, and some can go either way

Effective Product Development Process
Develops great products that– work in real use environments– appeal to customers (beyond just working)– have low cost of production and delivery
Develops products fast– meet market windows, recover investment
Develop products efficiently– Low development cost
Business Success

Product Planning Decision
Product Planning– Lots of great ideas– Fund only those that will contribute most to business
success

Specific Types of Product Planning Decision Processes
Quantitative return on investment (ROI) calculations based on discounted cash flow projections
Qualitative view of factors based on data + opinions
Overriding strategic consideration
19
Return on Investment (ROI)
ROI = return on investmentFor equity funding, this is the same as Discounted Cash-flow Rate of Return
Higher for a, than for b, since a returns cash sooner
Payback time is sometimes used as a surrogate for ROI
Higher ROI usually means shorter payback

Funding Decision Process Always more items that can be funded How do we decide? Whether informal or formal, there is a decision matrix like this at work:
A B C AxBxC cum$ (M)
Project a
Project b
Project c
A = return on investment (ROI) if successfulB = discount factor because of risk that we will not be so successfulC = hard to quantify factors, like strategic fit
