Product conceptualization

The first phase closes with a specified development assignment and a provisional requirements list. The requirements list is the basis for the next phase, product conceptualization.

To minimize the total project time, from product conceptualization to product launch, one has to go beyond an accurate estimation of the time required to... 

The paradigm of free energy surfaces provides a very convenient and productive conceptual framework to analyze the thermodynamics and dynamics of electronic transitions in condensed phases. It, in fact, replaces the complex dynamics of a quantum subsystem interacting with a many-body... 

Borohydrides [BH4 ] in aqueous, buffered solutions, or in diglyme, react with acids of an appropriate strength to yield H2 and b—O- products. Conceptually, this is the simplest reaction a chemist might deal with—the combination of a proton and a hydride ion—although in the present case they are primarily incipient species 149-152). 

An explanation as to why reward and fit-to-brand cannot (and should not) be measured directly is provided. A derived index of fit-to-brand, obtained by superimposing brand and product conceptual profiles, is proposed as an alternative.

The melt blowing process by itself, or by integration with other nonwoven or film and paper processes, has tremendous flexibility to produce new and specialty products and to improve existing products, provided that new product conceptualizers and equipment manufacturers effectively interact to meet existing and new market needs. 

Smart Materials. The field of intelligent or self-adaptive materials is in its infancy, particularly with regard to textile products. Conceptually, any material that is responsive to one or more external stimuli (heat, force, light, moisture, electrical current) and that responds to such exposure by changing shape or related characteristics is classified as an intelligent material. Synthetic gels that act like artificial muscle and fabrics that self-repair to avoid tensile and other forms of mechanical failure are examples of ongoing research and uses (82). 

Entities developing and commercializing nanotechnology products should consider "Product Stewardship" approaches integrating Life Cycle Assessment. These strategies may help developers identify and manage risks from the earliest stages of product conceptualization to disposal and/or recovery/reuse. 

Conceptualize the production process Conceptualization of the production process parallels product conceptualization. On the one hand, the basic product solution entails restrictions in terms of the possible production processes. On the other hand, there are production-related restrictions deriving from the processes used in production. The developer has to select the most suitable MID production process on the basis of these findings.
