2
Factors Affecting Product Design

• There are several factors that affect the design
  of a product. A product designer must consider
  these factors before designing the product in
  order to create winning designs. These factors
  are as follows

3
Customer Requirements

• The end users or customers are the ones that
  would leverage the product. So, due respect
  should be given to their requirements before
  designing a product. The designers should make
  sure that the product is ergonomically designed
  so that the customers can use it conveniently in
  all conditions.

4
Facilities For The Operators

• It is the task of product designers to ensure
  that the operators can effortlessly perform the
  intended operations using the product. The
  product should be integrated with all the
  essential features and facilities that make its
  operation simple and comfortable. If the product
  design is complicated, then the operator may
  become tired and be less productive. So, the
  product should be designed in such a way that it
  is easy to handle and operate.

5
Functionality

• A product should be designed in such a way that
  it yields 100 customer satisfaction. For this,
  the designer must ensure that the product is
  functioning optimally and is meeting the purpose
  for which it is designed. There should be sync
  between the appearance of the product and its
  functionality to the customers.

6
Cost Ratio

A product designer must design high-quality
product in a way that it is cost effective. The
product should be of top-notch quality,
functional and appealing in design, such that it
attracts the customers. The designer must also
ensure that he is creating a design which is even
cost effective as that will attract the customers
most.
7
Quality of Product

The design of a product and its quality should go
hand in hand. The quality of a product depends on
its design as well as conformity. So, the
designer must ensure that he/she is producing a
good quality product that embellishes an
impressive design.
8
Capability of Process

A product designer must have the requisite
knowledge of the machinery in order to take care
of the quality of conformance. The quality of
conformance depends on the capacity of equipment
and machines (how much they can process). A
designer should thus establish a tolerance limit
of each machine and equipment.
9
Material Requirements

• The type, quality, and nature of a material used
  in the production of a product impact its design
  to a great extent. So, the designer must have
  adequate knowledge of the materials. He/she
  should have up to date information about the
  availability of new and better materials in order
  to create the desired product.

10
Work Methods

• The work methods adopted and the equipment used
  to impact the viability of the design. Little
  changes in the work methods can considerably
  affect the production cost. So, a designer must
  be inventive in order to find out the most
  efficient work methods. He/she should be
  accustomed to the innovations in the market so
  that he/she can improvise the work methods and
  equipment accordingly.

11

• A product should be designed in such a way that
  it should have the scope for improvisation in the
  type of equipment required and the work methods
  adopted.

12
Effects on Existing Designs

• In case a new product is being designed to
  replace an existing product, then a designer
  should ensure that he/she uses the standards
  materials, parts, components, design strategies,
  techniques and manufacturing processes. It is the
  task of a product designer to blend the existing
  product with new manufacturing technology. In
  this way, the designer can keep the production
  cost minimum.

13
Packaging

• Packaging is one of the core components
  associated with a product. The design of the
  package of a product is equally important as the
  product itself. This is because packaging ensures
  that the product is delivered safely to the end
  users. Thus, the designer should ensure that the
  package is protective and even serves the
  promotional purpose. The package should be
  attractive as that will appeal to the customers.

14

• These are the major factors affecting a product
  design which should be considered by Product
  Designer.. In our product designing course, we
  make sure that the students are familiarized with
  all these factors so that they can create
  effective product designs when they enter the job
