One way to deal with it is by product development that is to make improvements, improvements or produce new products that are different from existing products. The new Product Development strives to simplify the work in effective and efficient ways. In the process of building a house there is a wall-mounting activity where the bricks are arranged with the help of cement to paste the bricks that are aimed at the brick well-arranged, but in the use of cement often seen the cement used to fall apart to the side of the brick. The process of designing and developing a product is done using a rational method that has several steps. The steps in the rational method are: Clarifying Objectives, Establishing Function, Setting Requirements, Determining Characteristics, Generating Alternatives, Evaluating Altenatives, Improving Details. In this study the authors aim to get the design of bricks spacing tool to improve the performance of artisans and improve the quality of the process that includes the skills of artisans and improve the efficiency of raw materials by testing product design and product development made by the author by comparing the data processing time before and after implementation using the help software SPSS 16.00. Result of t test by using software SPSS 16.00 got result that using tool better design in time and productivity of use of raw materials using tool design increase.

Quality Of Milk

In recent years, the average consumer has become much more aware of the composition of food. Medical opinion, that diets high in fibre and low in fat are likely to result in longer and healthier lives, has provided the food industry with new market sectors and, hence, the need for new product development.The dairy industry in the United Kingdom has, in the main, been slow to react to this challenge and has left the remainder of the food industry to manipulate the composition of the final product. At one time, the inclusion of 100 g butter per kg margarine was deemed to be a sales advantage but today the consumer believes it is a disadvantage. The cholesterol and saturated fats discussion has obviously been put forward with great fervour by members of the food industry who have sought to gain advantage. The reaction of the dairy industry has been to take a defensive stand rather than to conduct research and promote the nutritional advantage of milk and milk products. This attitude is changing, fortunately, and new dairy products are being developed and marketed aggressively. The belief of the dairy industry, that only new products containing milk ingredients alone would be manufactured, is no longer true and a whole range of new dairy-based products, incorporating varying amounts of other food ingredients, is appearing.The latest developments in dairy technology are resulting in some new raw materials derived from milk, specially designed for specific uses in the food industry. This paper reviews some of these developments against the background of milk composition, industrial production and market consumption.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the link between the adoption of sustainability practices and new product development (NPD) in manufacturing companies. From a triple bottom line (TBL) perspective and considering different theoretical approaches, this study hypothesises on the effect of both internal and external sustainability practices, distinguishing between collaborative and controlling initiatives, on the success of new products. Using a unique database of 281 companies across three industries taken from the fourth round of the High-Performance Manufacturing project, the findings shows that both monitoring and collaborative actions with suppliers demonstrate positive impacts on NPD success. Internal sustainability practices do not have a direct effect on NPD success but are determinant in supporting external sustainability practices.

Purpose – West European manufacturing has been going through challenging times after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. Some countries (e.g. Sweden and Germany) have recovered from the crisis, while in others problems and job loss still persist. One of these problem countries is Finland. The purpose of this paper is to examine manufacturing strategy priorities and their performance implications in this country. Design/methodology/approach – During the spring of 2014, a web-based survey was conducted, targeting Finnish manufacturing companies. In this study we focus on small- and medium-sized (SMEs) companies and link survey responses to financial performance data, which is available in audited annual reports. Findings – Research results indicate that SME manufacturers in Finland put less emphasis in new product development, broadness of product line and after sales service, while showing high priority in delivery speed and punctuality. As the manufacturing strategy dimensions are connected to audited financial data, regression analyses reveal that superior quality is at central place for achieving higher revenues and profits. After sales service has a positive impact on revenues and new product development ability is connected to higher profits. Managing quality to meet specifications (minimum quality level), leads only into higher employment. Some evidence is shown in support of flexibility in terms of product changes having negative impact on revenue, while volume flexibility is connected to lower profits. Research limitations/implications – This research is limited to a single country, and is cross-sectional in nature. The primary data were combined with profit and loss statements in order to reduce common method bias. Practical implications – It is evident that SMEs may adapt their manufacturing strategy, with emphasis on superior quality together with properly managed after sales service and new product development activity. However, it is worrying that head count in manufacturing SMEs is not connected to same factors, as are revenue and profit. It is suggested that flexibility in labour contracts and other regulatory support measures are needed to support flexible manufacturing. Originality/value – Advanced economies and their remaining manufacturing companies have been receiving minor levels of interest in research. This is especially the case with SMEs, where this research tries to fill important research gap.
