Client-supplier collaboration in new product development (NPD) has been a strategy in response to fierce global competition. Traditionally, Hong Kong suppliers collaborate with worldwide clients through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) arrangement in which suppliers manufacture products according to clients' design. In recent years, a growing number of Hong Kong suppliers have transformed to original design manufacturing (ODM) in which they are assigned a design responsibility other than manufacturing products. The ODM arrangement necessitates a close interaction between clients and suppliers, which brings about intense conflict. Conflict has been recognized as an important factor affecting NPD performance including product quality. This paper studies the conflict handling practices of Hong Kong ODM suppliers based on 87 survey data. The results show that the suppliers frequently adopt effective conflict handling practices by which they can develop products of good quality through better design decisions. The results also suggest that the use of ineffective conflict handling behaviors, particularly avoiding, should be reduced for better product quality.

Concurrent Engineering(CE) can provide a competitive edge for companies that have confronted with rapidly changing market requirements, such as shortening of product life cycles, high quality, low cost, diversity of customer demand, and so on. We construct a prototype of integrated information system to support a new product development process by CE concept. This integrated information system can be useful for considering concurrently all of the aspect in the product design process. In this system, an Engineering Database is constructed for gathering data of four departments; i.e. marketing, production, quality control and design department. Also DFM(Design For Manufacturability) is applied for analysis of product design.

In the early phases of the product life cycle, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is recently used to support the decision-making for the product concepts, and the best alternative can be selected based on its estimated LCA and benefits. Both the lack of detailed information and time for a full LCA for a various range of design concepts need a new approach for the environmental analysis. This paper explores a new approximate LCA methodology for the product concepts by grouping products according to their environmental characteristics and by mapping product attributes into environmental impact driver (EID) index. The relationship is statistically verified by exploring the correlation between total impact indicator and energy impact category. Then, a neural network approach is developed to predict an approximate LCA of grouping products in conceptual design. Trained learning algorithms for the known characteristics of existing products will quickly give the result of LCA for newly designed products. The training is generalized by using product attributes for an EID in a group as well as another product attributes for the other EIDs in other groups. The neural network model with back propagation algorithm is used, and the results are compared with those of multiple regression analysis. The proposed approach does not replace the full LCA but it would give some useful guidelines for the design of environmentally conscious products in conceptual design phase.

This research presents distributed database and knowledge-base modeling approach for intelligent product design system. The product design information in this study is described by a collection of rules and design knowledge that are utilized according to the product development procedures. In this work, a network-based architecture has been developed to enable dispersed designers to simultaneously accomplish remote design tasks. A client/server communication diagram has also been proposed to facilitate consistent primary information modeling for multi-user access and reuse of designed results. An intelligent product design system has been studied with the concepts of distributed database and network-based architecture in order to support concurrent engineering design and automatic design part assembly. The system provides the capability of composing new designs from proper design elements stored in the database and knowledge-base. The distributed intelligent product design is applied to the design of an automobile part as an example.

In this study, we propose the guideline with strategic model for new product development. To establish the guideline, 1) we classify several types of successful surveyed cases that achieved open innovation through applying crowdsourcing into new product development environment, 2) draw case maps using two or three axis with characteristics such as: step of product development process, crowdsourcing frequency, and product type of each case, 3) define the type of applying crowdsourcing into new product development environment based on case analysis results, and tabulate a crowdsourcing type based on the defined crowdsourcing type, 4) finally, suggest the guideline with multiple points of view which embrace type of crowd, community management, participation method, knowledge adoption method, and reward policy. Using the suggested guideline will help a company to design and establish open innovation in new business model related to product development area.

어떤 의미에서 제품은 다양한 정보와 에너지, 물질의 결합체로 파악될 수 있으며, 디자이너의 디자인행위는 디자인 프로세스를 통하여 제품의 이런 속성들의 수준을 결정하는 것이라 볼 수 있다. 즉 제품을 하나의 속성다발체로 생각할 때 각 속성들을 제어하고 조직화하고 최선의 상태가 되도록 결정하기 위하여 디자이너는 각 속성에 대한 다양한 정보를 필요로 하게 된다. 그러나 실제 디자이너가 이용할 수 있는 정보는 이전에 경험했던 내용을 바탕으로 한 직관이나 카다로그 등 이미 공개되었거나 일차원적인 자료에 의존할 뿐이며 있다하더라도 체계적이지 못하고 디자인과는 다른 입장에서 작성된 영업이나 마케팅, 개발부서의 입장이 중심이 된 정보가 대부분이다. 따라서 디자이너가 실제적으로 이용할 수 있는 디자인정보의 개발이 필요하며 이런 디자인정보의 효율적인 이용과 관리를 위하여 또 제품개발에 관여하는 여러 전문가와의 커뮤니케이션 인터페이스로서, 제품개발의 구심점으로 디자인정보시스템이 필요하다. 이런 연구배경을 바탕으로 구체적으로 제품계획의 의미와 제품개발 프로세스를 고찰하여 새로운 디자인 정보 시스템의 필요성을 이해하고 구체적인 개발방법을 위하여 제품을 디자인 정보 탐색의 기준으로 제시하였다. 다음 제품계획에 있어 제품의 개념 및 범주를 정의하고 제품을 둘러싼 기본적인 논리에 따라 제품속성을 규명하였으며 규명된 제품속성을 바탕으로 디자인 정보 모델을 만들고 이것을 기본으로 디자인 정보시스템의 프로토타입을 작성하였다. 마지막으로 작성된 프로토타입의 평가를 바탕으로 결론 및 추후연구과제에 대해 논하였다.

Because of various request of consummer and rapidly chang, a product change and new-production come out variously. To satisfy the condition, companies must develop the product of rapidity and good quality. But, a product design difficults to consider many parameters and increase the level of each parameter. In order to solve this problem, this paper studies out algorithms taken into account more parameters and increased the level of parameters using the Genetic Algorithms. Because this algorithm can search detailed and wide for the level of parameter, in case of new-product development, we can use it for designing parameters of new-product.

Purpose - In the development of new products, suppliers involvement and developing products jointly can be said to be strategic activities that utilize the lack of knowledge from external organizations. In this new product development, supplier involvement has been proven to have a positive impact on new product development performance for a long time by previous research. However, sufficient academic research has not been conducted on the influence of supplier involvement in various product strategies or sales strategies that buyers make in order to secure a competitive advantage in the market. This study argues that product strategy and sales strategy used by buyers in the development of new products will control the effect of supplier involvement on new product development performance in order to compensate the lack of these academic aspects. Research design, data, and methodology - Specifically, we selected the modularization strategy of the product as the product strategy, which is considered as an important strategy in the new product development through the preceding research, and the mass customer satisfaction strategy was chosen as the sales strategy. In order to achieve these research objectives, regression analysis was conducted using data from manufacturing productivity panel collected jointly by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Industry and the Korea Productivity Center. Results - As a result, supplier involvement and new product development performances (development cost efficiency, customer satisfaction) were positively related. The product modularity strategy proved to have an interactive effect on the relationship between supplier involvement and new product development performances (development cost efficiency, customer satisfaction). However, it has not been confirmed that there is a statistically significant interaction effect between supplier involvement and new product development performances. Conclusions - Supplier involvement has positive relationships with NPD performance. In addition, product modularity strategies have interaction effects with supplier involvement and affect new product development performance (development cost efficiency and customer satisfaction). The results of this study are of academic significance in the case of lack of empirical studies on the effect of supplier participation on the effect of buyer 's strategy when a supplier participates and develops new products jointly.
