Chung Jen ODM Strength: In-House Product Design
Chung Jen's proudest soft power: Product design capability
Foreword
Product design capability is a crucial factor in determining a company's success. Exceptional design capabilities not only improve product appearance and quality internally, but also help reduce production costs. Externally, excellent design capabilities enable companies to develop innovative products that meet market demands, enhance company sustainability, gain a competitive edge, and improve customer satisfaction. In other words, product design capability not only optimizes products but also drives the overall development and success of the company.
Key to design capabilities
Product design capability is a comprehensive ability that can lead to a systematic design and production process, and this capability includes the following three important key elements.
- Communication skills: The design process often requires close communication with various departments within different companies, including supervisors and different departments within the factory (such as the electroplating plant, mold factory, production line, and quality control department). Excellent communication skills can efficiently resolve problems that arise during product manufacturing. Empathy and perspective-taking from different people's viewpoints help optimize the product manufacturing process and save unnecessary communication costs.
- Attention to detail: Clearly describing the dimensions and materials is extremely important. Precise data can avoid misunderstandings during the production process and ensure that products are manufactured accurately according to the design drawings.
- Patience and perseverance: Careful inspection and testing in the early stages of product development help prevent potential production problems later on, such as discovering manufacturing limitations or dimensional errors requiring mold modifications. This also ensures stable production progress. Adhering to principles and reserving room for corrections helps cope with uncertainties and ensures successful product production.
Product Development Process
Communication and discussion are the most crucial aspects. At each stage of the formal production process, the design team and various departments must engage in back-and-forth discussions to create the ideal product. The general product design and development process is as follows:
- Product positioning / Concept ideation
The team will think about and establish the product's positioning, core concept, and market demand, and then use their creativity to begin shaping new products. - Hand-drawn sketch
Transforming a concept into an image typically begins with hand-drawn sketches to capture the product’s basic appearance and functional state. - Preliminary model testing and evaluation (paper model/3D printing, etc.)
At this stage, preliminary models may be made using paper models or techniques such as 3D printing to evaluate their appearance and functionality. - Define dimensions
Determine the precise dimensions of the product to prepare for subsequent design and actual manufacturing. - Development of form
Begin refining the product's appearance and shape, and consider actual usage scenarios. - 3D modeling
Using 3D modeling software allows product designs to be presented in more accurate digital form for further design and testing. - Set the color and surface finish (same as the sample image).
Choose the product's color or a sample image to place on it, and consider the surface treatment to enhance its appearance and texture. - Sample making
Make preliminary samples of the product to ensure the accuracy of the design and dimensions. - Sample inspection and testing
Samples are inspected and subjected to various tests to ensure that products meet standards and quality requirements. - Product Launch
After completing all the preliminary preparations, the product will be officially launched to the market for marketing and sales.
