From customer needs to partners network specifications: (Design-Manufacturing-Supply) needs matrix
Résumé
New Product Design (NPD) projects consider sequentially various phases of new product design project: customer needs clarification, product specifications, design process, partners selection. Such sequencing ignores possible impacts of partners on the way that the product will be designed and realised. This paper explores early consideration of the partners network for building up relevant partnerships in NPD projects. We attempt to highlight the gain of visibility through suggested Design, Manufacturing, Supply needs matrix. The new product is decomposed into three parts and by using needs matrix early in the design process, it will be possible to define design roles and profiles of needed partnerships and therefore of needed partners.
