|
cross functional aka concurrent engineering
|
|
a type of product and process design in manufacturing. is the process by which a model (real or simulated) is constructed to test the good’s physical properties or use under actual operating conditions, as well as consumer reactions to the prototype. Some services can achieve this same result through a test market.
|
prototype testing.
|
|
A focus on improving the environment by better good or service design is often called green manufacturing or green practices.
Green manufacturing example: packaging for fast food restaurants. |
design for environmental quality
