Packaging Model in Graphic Industry
Concurrent engineering methodology includes the product development model and the production process development model. These models use concurrent engineering as their overriding philosophy, strengthened by the use of a systematic design process. Process design model generally consists of three different models: the manufacturing process development model, the test method development model, and the packaging development model. This model has five development phases: project planning, conceptual design, design, production preparation, and production/service. Between each of these five development phases, there is a management milestone, which is an approval point for the management team to assess the progress of the project. Each of the phases are broken into steps. The process development model starts with a kick-off meeting in conjunction with the product development model. This meeting is used to develop a broad overview of the development methodology and the expectations of the product. Next, the teams begin their own tasks, but communicate their progress regularly. Finally, production/service, the last phase of both the product and the process development models is the phase in which the product is manufactured, tested, packaged, and distributed to customers.
