Improving Number of Prototypes and Its Quality

We know the prototypings are importants and the quality of it need to be enhanced. From idea to prototypes it is not easy, so creating a stage we named prototype enhancing will reduce the burden of prototyping. The procedure would be the engineer will keep drawing the prototypes and create prototypes in plastics as it was the easiest material, we know the prototypes are not enhanced at this stage because we want the protyping process to be fast therefore, it is not enhanced at this stage. Until we go to the next stage which is prototype enhancing.

Fast Prototyping Procesesses

This process will include creating ideas on a paper no matter it was a simple drawing or a drawing with measurements. The most important is giving freedoms to the engineers to prototype. The process also include making a plastic prototype, it will look like a model with stickers writing the functions and electronics that not being installed in prototypes, it was labelled with stickers instead. Drafting process also being given freedom where engineers can make draft with drawings and ideas whereby the prototypes with plastics does not need drawing with ideas in short essay.

Prototype Enhancing Process

To enhance process of the prototype engineers and product development team will add a printed sample of the electronic on paper and stick it on the prototype plastic. The printed sample include the exact outsourced place and the brands. Some available electronics will be added. Certain prototypes already being turned into products. Engineers will include a leaflet with prototype drawing or product picture to introduce product from consumer perspective and another one from the buyer perspective. Buyers from market if they are looking for the  product they will look at the products and semi finished product in the catalogues.

Appraisal Systems And Motivated A Employee

What are contributions made by employees and how to appreciate them and is more than one managerial level posts and chief engineer is enough? We used to talk in point forms I think it is just an precise way to understand, we will find out more in this blog post.

A lot of time employer forget to ask their employees such as questions:

1.are you tired
2.why you are bored with your work
3.you have been working all days 
4.you deserve an achievement reward

As a result we get a stressful and low motivation employee with a lot of works and unsatisfied works. However this situation can be improved.

First, have multiple managerial level posts and chief engineers or similar level posts to divide task or focused on a particular task, it lessen work burdens.

Secondly, reward your employees on their salary. On how to calculate the rewards it depends more rewards per work completed  produce better and motivated employees. Sometimes charges on sales of products, designed products by employees will collect commissions to pay to employees. Charges are such as service charge, product designing charge, others.

It is how we look at the appraisal system, does conventional appraisal system remain rational, we think it is outdated and much needed an upgrade. 

Bringing The Brand Value To Product Finishing And Creating And Smoother Look of Product

Product often have different categories when you let a consumer survey a product, they would say it was premium, beginner and luxury. Every products are differents. What are the things to look for when designing these type of good when there are categories of premium, beginner and luxury.

For example you are making electronic parts for Panasonic, this time it was for Panasonic premium products, you are designing the firmware. You added some panasonic designs to its interface so the products interface give impressions of it was panasonic, this is the brand value you added to panasonic. Next, you asked panasonic can we have a look at previous product interface and designs of goods so you retained panasonic brand value in the new design.

Afterwards, Panasonic asked for something completely different and completely new, then you created designs inspired from Panasonic. 

At some times, a completely new and unrelated to the brand designs also work for a particular brand, this is something can't be explained and we have to look into the graphic designs and arts. This is a contrast technique, contrasting design elements we often see when a brand new product being made.

Budget Allocation In Product Development For Employees

We used to have situations where product could look much better and we know the employer has taken too much control over things can be done and can't be done. So, welcome to where employees can give at least 60% of control in product produced this is a method named product development through  budget allocation for employees. Remember previous blog posts we wrote about features making, methods to inventing more products, so now we are going to talk about another method.

Let say you received an big order for 30,000 units of product with firmware and the order worth 30 million usd, you place the production cost at 11 million usd, material costing only 1 million usd you decided to let employees to take control of a 6 million usd of production cost where you allocate 6 million usd to them to make purchases for product development.

With this 6 million usd, the engineers purchase some technologies outside of Google, some materials so there make their ideas into the product and firmware with required specifications. Afterwards, the product development team finalized the production.

This method truely help to make a product development, making the product looks better and increase customer satisfactions.
