Product and Service Design Processes
Product Executive Summary: Tire Design
The approach to designing tires is driven by a highly regulated product market. The standards for safety, ergonomic design and functionality are governed by a number of basic qualifying conditions that must first be met. Therefore, the appropriate design approach begins with ensuring that these conditions are met both in terms of design and the machinery and equipment that will be used to drive production.
Beyond this, design approach is governed by the required output of a given production facility. This, in turn, is determined by client demand and imposed shipping schedules and deadlines. By establishing partnerships with automakers and other larger production operations, the tire design process is governed by clear outlay of production expectations. Designing the production approach must center on achieving these expectations. For this to occur across multiple settings and with a wide range of partnerships of varying production needs, it is imperative to utilize an Enterprise Resource Planning framework or a commensurate method of IT-based inventory and production planning.
Finally, quality control must play a critical role in the design approach. Here, the goods produced by the operation must be evaluated for either individual or systemic flaws. These can be used to determine exactly how efficient a production process is as well as how effectively personnel, machinery and procedures are reaching their expectations.
It is important, after this, that the process coordinates closely with the transport and shipping strategies undertaken by the tire company. Dispatching orders and deliveries with a predictable and observable consistency will make it easy for partners and clients...
