Document Summary
Product design process successful organizations use four elements to rapidly create new goods and services and bring them to consumers: product approval committee, structured development process, core teams, phase reviews. Sources of ideas for new or redesigned products ideas come from everywhere! Wide variations exist in the amount of time a particular product takes to pass through a given phase of its life cycle some pass through various stages in a relatively short period, others considerably longer: often it is a matter of the basic need for the item and the rate of technological change ex: toys have life cycle of less than one year clothes washers, dryers may last for decades before yielding to technological change.
