Packaging Development Model

Concurrent engineering methodology includes the product development model and the production process development models. These models use concurrent engineering as their overriding philosophy, strengthened by the use of a systematic design process. It will be given an overview of all the phases, steps, and team members of process design model. This model consists of three different models: the manufacturing process development model, the test method development model, and the packaging development model. It will be discussed especialy all phases and their steps for packaging development model in graphic industry. 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. Each phase of the model and each step within these phases will be discussed. 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. The crossfiinctional process development team's tasks will be discussed. Finally, production/service, the last phase of both the product and the process development models will be discussed. This is the phase in which the product is manufactured, tested, packaged, and distributed to customers. Within this phase's purview is the support of the product through field service and/or customer support organizations.
