    New ProductDevelopment

    The typical new product development process followed by

    Priyagold Ceramic is as follows:

    The following stages are involved in NPD process.

    1 IDEA GENERATION :

    New Products are born from ideas. Before searching ideas, top

    management should define the products and markets and should also

    state the objectives for NPD.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    37/72

    Sources of new product ideas:

    Customers:

    Loyal customers often recognize the need for improvement in

    the product before companies can do. Companies can identify

    customers need through complaint letters, forced group discussion,

    etc. and can made changes accordingly.

    Scientists, Employees, Engineers:

    Company must develop a culture so that employees are

    encouraged to give new ideas. They should also develop an incentive

    scheme for those who give best ideas.

    Competitors:

    Company can purchase the competitors product to see the

    functioning and accordingly they can develop new product.

    Other Sources:

    Pattern attorneys, university, advertising, agencies, marketing

    research firms, university, business publication and so on.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    38/72

    2. IDEA GENERATION TECHNIQUE

    Attribute Listing:

    It is listing an existing products attributes and then modifying

    each attributes in the search for an improved product.

    For ced Relationship:

    In this several objects are considered in relation to one another

    to create a new product.

    Morphological Analysis:

    It is identifying the structural dimensions of a problem and

    examining the relationships among them.

    Need and Problem Identification:

    Here customers needs and problems are identified.

    Brainstorming:

    It is a group activity to stimulate the flow of ideas by discussing

    a specified problem. Here rule is-

    We want as many ideas as possible and remember no

    evaluation.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    39/72

    3. IDEA SCREENING:

    In this stage new ideas are evaluated to determining the

    promising ones. The purpose of ideas screening is to drop poor ideas

    as early as possible because product development cost rises

    substantially at each successive stage.

    The committee should avoid two types of errors:

    Drop error: It occurs when committee drop an idea which is good.

    Go error: It occurs when committee go with an idea which is poor.

    Most of the company uses product idea rating device while

    screening the idea price performance, quality, customer satisfaction,

    matches with company resources, strategies, objectives, etc. Then

    idea is matched with this certain criteria and if it does not match then

    idea is dropped.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    40/72

    4. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING:

    Philip Kotler says,

    Attractive ideas must be refined into testable product

    concepts.

    Consumers do not buy product ideas but product concept.

    Product Idea : A possible product that the company might

    offer to the market.

    Product Concept : An elaborated version of ideas expressed in

    consumer meaningful terms.

    Product Image : A particular picture in the minds of

    customer.

    Concept Development:

    A product idea can be turned into a several product concept.

    Concept Positioning:Each concept is required to be positioned so that it helps to

    understand the product competition in relation to cost, time

    preparation, quality, etc. These comparisons can be used to

    communicate the product concept to the market.

    Concept testing calls for testing this concept with an

    appropriate group of target consumers. The concept may be presented

    symbolically or physically. Consumers are presented with an

    elaborated version of each concept and they are asked to react to each

    concept.

    If company have undertake proper concept development and

    concept testing then it can avoid any problem that arises in the market

    place later on in the initially stage only.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    43/72

    5. MARKETING STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT:

    The new product manager will have to develop a preliminary

    marketing strategy statement for introducing this product into the

    market. This strategy will be refined in the subsequent stages.

    This marketing strategy plan consists of 3 parts.

    First part describes:

    Target market, structure, behavior, sales, market share, profit

    goals sought in the first few years.

    Second part describes:

    Products planned price, distribution strategy and the marketing

    budget for the first year.

    The Priyagold Ceramic will be offered with lower price .

    Third part describes:

    Long run sales and profit goals and marketing mix strategy over

    time.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    44/72

    6. BUSINESS ANALISYS:

    Once the product concept and marketing strategy are

    developing management evaluate the business attractiveness of the

    proposal. Management evaluates the sales, cost and profit to

    determine whether they satisfy the companys objectives. If they do

    them the proposal move into next stage.

    Estimating Total Sales:

    Management needs to estimate whether sales will be high

    enough to yield a satisfactory profit.

    Total Sales = First time scale + Replacement sales + Repeat Sales.

    Sales estimation depends on whether a product is one time

    purchased infrequently purchased or frequently purchased produced.

    Scale is one time purchased product. Here number of first buyer

    initially less and then decrease as few buyers are left. Repeat sales

    will soon occur provided that it satisfies some buyers. The repeat

    sales curve eventually falls and become steady because by this time,

    the product is longer a new product.

    Estimating First time scale:

    The first task is to estimate the first time sales of a new productin each period.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    45/72

    Estimating Replacement Sales:

    To estimate replacement sales, management has to research the

    product survival age distribution. The low end of distribution

    indicates when the first replacement sales will take place. Since,

    replacement sales are difficult to measure before actual launch, most

    of company base their actual decision solely on their estimate of first

    time sales.

    Estimating Repeat Sale:

    For a frequently purchased product one has to estimate the

    repeat sales. A high rate of repeat purchase indicates that the

    consumers are satisfied with the product.

    Estimating Costs & Profits:

    After sales forecasting management have to estimate the costs

    and profits of this venture. The costs are estimate by the R & D,

    manufacturing department, marketing and finance department

    together.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    46/72

    7. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:

    I the product pass, the business test, it moves to R&D to be

    developed into a physical product. Up to now it exist in the form of

    word description, a drawing, or a prototype. At the stage the company

    will determine whether the product idea can be translated into a

    technically and commercially feasible product.

    The R&D department will develop one or more prototype. The

    company hopes to find a prototype that satisfies customer

    requirement; it performs safely and can be produced with the

    budgeted manufacturing costs.

    Developing and manufacturing a successful prototype can take

    days, months or even years. Lab scientists must not only design the

    products required functional characteristics but also they should know

    how to communicate its aspects.

  • 8/6/2019 PRIYAGOLD Mm MBA Porject Report Prince Dudhatra

    47/72

    At this stage various decisions like:

    Product Engineering

    Branding

    Packaging

    Patenting

    Formulating the communication programmes, etc.

    When prototype is ready they go through functional and

    consumer test.

    Functional tests are conducted under laboratory and field

    condition to make sure that the product performs safely and

    effectively.

    Consumer testing can take variety of forms from brining

    consumers into a laboratory to giving them samples to use in their

    business.

    Consumers are given prototype to taste and their suggestions

    are taken to make further changes in the product and to improve their

    product. In short, Priyagold Ceramic undergone consumer test.

    Conclusion

    Priyagold Ceramic today is one of the leading company in the

    scale and now its aiming to become a entire scale company. With its

    newly added tag of the electronic weighing people and clever

    formulation of price and product it targets virtually all segments of the

    market.

    Priyagold Ceramic LCD screen displayed scale is also one such

    product with low price, high capacity and high accuracy added more

    value to the company targeting the price sensitive consumers in the

    market.

    This scale is facing some problem in the market and it not

    showing any growth trends. But it found to be showing some negative

    trends instead. But with proper consideration and some required

    changes like aggressive promotion, re-positioning, and better

    packaging the product can make it big into the market, provided there

    is no increase in its price levels and it remain at part with its local

    counter parts.

    I wish Priyagold Ceramic Product Ltd. & its LCD screen

    displayed scale all the truck for a progressive future.
