  1. Product Design Lesson objective to be able to identify key reasons why products have evolved over time

  2. Questions • Why do you think designers improve products? • If I said ‘continuous improvement’ would you know what this means? • Can you name several factors that have helped to improve products? Lesson objective - to be able to identify key reasons why products have evolved over time

  3. Years of development and innovation has culminated in the modern world we know as today • Manufacturing has improved • Selection of materials • The way society has changed and the market need for goods has determined the changes Lesson objective - to be able to identify key reasons why products have evolved over time

  4. Task 1 – write up notes One off prototype • A full size see-saw prototype. Creating a one-off prototype can speed up the design process and avoid pitfalls later in production. 1:100 scale car patterns ready for casting

  5. Task 2 – find out what this means - Bespoke Somerset Furniture Designer Penny Price offers a bespoke furniture design service throughout the Somerset area, below is an example of some of the bespoke furniture made by Penny Price. bespoke; bespoken; tailor-made; made-to-order; tailored

  6. Task 3 – write down notes from this slide - Batch production • Sometimes batch production is necessary when a manufacturer is producing similar things, but with variants. • For instance, if you manufacture two colours of the same shoe, you probably use batch production. • Any dyeing of leather or fabric can’t apply to the whole set of shoes you want to manufacture, since they’re different colours. • This can mean stopping in between each batch to change or clean machines, or prepare to add new dyes for the next variation.

  7. Improving our standard of living • Manufacturing has created a mass-production market • What do you think mass production means? Lesson objective - to be able to identify key reasons why products have evolved over time

  8. mass-production market task 4 write down notes The production of large quantities of a standardized article (often using assembly line techniques)

  9. Write this down - Developments in technology have affected materials and manufacturing. New materials have been produced, and the way we make products has changed • Social factors have an impact on the products we use • Products for a ‘greener’ future are also being developed because of market demand

  10. People demand ‘continuous improvement’ The fourth generation monochrome iPod-July 2004 - June 2005 The first generation iPod mini-January 2004 - February 2005 Lesson objective - to be able to identify key reasons why products have evolved over time

  11. Task 5 - Now research on the Internet products that have improved over many years due to market demand • Task 6 • What does market push means? • What does market demand mean? • What does supply and demand mean? • What are standard components, find out? • What is a continuous production line? • what does ‘Commercial Viability’ mean? • what is a ‘Product launch’?
