PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The product idea concept is first developed from market and consumer research but with consideration of the technical aspects of the product. Usually, it is a combination of internal company information searching combined with consumer or, in industrial marketing, customer discussion groups. In industrial product development, it has been shown that selecting the most innovative customers for product concept development reduces the time and improves the product concepts. The product idea concept research leads to a more detailed description of the product ideas and also includes screening of the ideas.
Product Development is the design and engineering required to make products serviceable, salable, producible and profitable.
The basic concept involved in PD may be of two types:
Management, Designers, Merchandisers are involved in the development of a line or collection of the fashion manufacturer’s product.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
Apparel product development involves three phases:
1. This phase involves:
3. CAD system allows trial and error in developing concepts for approval without having to sew physical samples.
4. Design process may be conducted simultaneously in different sequences to reduce time for the product development.
5. Design may be original ,draw on fabric, stored in computer or given by the consumer.
7. In the pre-adoption phase it is make sure that the fabric or other materials that we are going to use would be available in large quantity for production.
9. The accessories and trims that are going to be used in the garment must be available.
Line-adoption
1. This phase involves:
3. Developing a Collection (Design Development)
Which designs will become styles in the line and how the styles relate to the line planning?
This phase involves:
Product Development is the design and engineering required to make products serviceable, salable, producible and profitable.
The basic concept involved in PD may be of two types:
- Creative
- Technical
- Creative design focuses on analysis and creativity.
- Technical design which involves perfecting the style, fit and patterns and developing detailed specifications and costs.
- The product can either be one that is new in market or one that is new to your particular company or existing product that has been improved.
- To create stars and cash cows for the future
- To replace declining product
- To take advantage of new technology
- To defeat rivals
- To maintain/increase market share
- To keep up with rivals
- To maintain competitive advantage
- To fill gap in the market
Management, Designers, Merchandisers are involved in the development of a line or collection of the fashion manufacturer’s product.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
Apparel product development involves three phases:
- Pre-adoption
- Line-adoption
- Post-adoption
1. This phase involves:
- Design Features
3. CAD system allows trial and error in developing concepts for approval without having to sew physical samples.
4. Design process may be conducted simultaneously in different sequences to reduce time for the product development.
5. Design may be original ,draw on fabric, stored in computer or given by the consumer.
- Piece Goods
7. In the pre-adoption phase it is make sure that the fabric or other materials that we are going to use would be available in large quantity for production.
- Trims
9. The accessories and trims that are going to be used in the garment must be available.
Line-adoption
1. This phase involves:
- Integration of line development and line presentation
3. Developing a Collection (Design Development)
- Developing a sample garment
- Preparation of sales samples
Which designs will become styles in the line and how the styles relate to the line planning?
This phase involves:
- Perfect Styling and Fit.
- Engineering production patterns.
- Assembly methods (to check the suitability in production.
- Developing Styles.
- Quality specifications.
- Estimate detailed costs.
- Estimate the operation cost.

The functional roles we describe below represent a minimum set that must exist for successful execution. We provide each set in the context of different company profile examples, each of which may be starting a MEMS product development at a different stage. insurance thought leadership
