Postgraduate certificate Product Design and Development in Industrial Companies

The design and creation of a product is a critical phase for any industrial company. This important process, which consists of the identification, evaluation and selection of ideas, preliminary design, product and process development and engineering, testing and evaluation of designs, final product development and distribution, is the only thing that guarantees that the end customer's needs are met, which is why it is so important. Aware of this, TECH professionals have designed this complete program that will enable the professional to be able to work autonomously and successfully in the product development phase.

Syllabus

Product design and development is one of the greatest challenges facing any company. The main objective is to achieve a product that satisfies the consumer's needs using the least amount of resources possible. The needs of the end user must be the initial inputs to define the specifications.

It is essential to work as a team and use techniques and methodologies that help to generate end-user-oriented solutions so that the products and services generated provide value to people. The components of the final product must be taken into account from the earliest stages of design and design activities must occur in parallel in the process.

A successful product design and development process is possible through advanced product quality planning, from 3D construction, material definition and design verification; through prototype development to help improve the design; continuing with the development of the manufacturing process, all the necessary tooling for manufacturing, assembly and control, to validation with testing and dimensional analysis to ensure the quality of the final product and its manufacturing. Not to mention the importance of change management, which includes the analysis and reduction of variability, as well as the use of lessons learned and proven practices that help improve the performance of the final product.

Innovation and technology transfer should not be left behind either, although there are times when this happens during the design phase, innovation and technology transfer as a separate process helps to reduce product design and development times.

This Postgraduate certificate is developed over 6 week and is divided into 1 module:
