The key issues that influence design are:
- Market Demand
- Customer needs and expectations
- Product quality
- The cost to Price Ratio
- Existing product line
- Production efficiency
The key factors that cause organizations to redesign a product
or a service are:
- Product improvement: When the customer demands are not met and
the demand is declining in the market, the company should redesign
it to make it more attractive.
- Technological innovation: When the company realizes that adding
a new technology to the product or a service will make it more
attractive to the end users.
- Changing customer needs: When the customers are asking for
change and they want it as soon as possible. This leaves the
company with no other option than redesigning it completely.
- Product failure: The new product will not be received well by
the customers and they prefer using the older version of it. The
company will have to make changes to the product and take it back
to the basics again.
- When the product is in the maturity stage of PLC: The company
will be aware that the product has reached the maturity stage and
they will have to make changes in order to introduce to the market
again in a new version.
