Factors Influencing Product Design

• Product design is a crucial component of any
  industry especially the manufacturing industry.
  Product designing refers to designing products in
  such a way that it satisfies the needs of the
  consumers in terms of aesthetics and
  functionality. Designing includes the shape,
  size, features, portion, and packaging of the
  product. It is the design of the product that
  makes it stand out in the market. However, the
  product must be designed after taking into
  consideration several factors that influence the
  design. These include

3
Fitness for Purpose

• The product designer must ascertain that the
  product he/she is developing possesses the
  required functions to satisfy the customers. If
  the product fits its purpose, then it deserves
  appreciation. If the product has any additional
  features at the same price, then it will gain
  extra credits over other products and the company
  will undoubtedly ace the competition.

4
Ergonomics

• This unique factor for product designing takes
  ease of use into consideration. The product
  designer analyzes different human factors and
  designs the product as per the style and
  expectations of the users. Other factors such as
  health, comfort level, and safety are also
  considered while designing so that the product
  can be used conveniently by the end-users.

5
Raw Materials

• Though a product designer aims at creating a
  cost-effective product, the main factor which
  attracts a customer is enhanced quality of the
  product. So, using best quality raw materials is
  vital in product designing. The product designers
  must also be aware of latest trends in raw
  materials in order to create pioneering products.
  Furthermore, they must also be aware of the
  materials used by their competitors. The usage of
  high-quality raw materials enhances the
  reputation of the firm.

6
Cost

• While designing a product, its end cost or cost
  is taken from the end-users must be taken into
  consideration. Proper knowledge of the estimated
  cost will allow the designers to choose raw
  materials and other features of the product
  accordingly. Usually, many managers and designers
  make blunders while deciding the price of product
  in accordance with the technology, designing or
  production process followed.

• They realize this blunder only after their
  company faces a decline in the profits and fails
  to stand among the competitors.

8
Environmental Stability

• Nowadays, environmental sustainability is the
  chief concern among society. Environmental
  pollution is one of the biggest problems created
  by manufacturing companies as the production
  process causes harm to abundant natural
  resources. To overcome this factor, the
  introduction of eco-friendly design has become
  necessary. The modern-day consumers are
  themselves becoming environmentally conscious. In
  such a scenario, eco-friendly products are all
  the rage.

  influencing product design. A product designer
