The industry relies on interdisciplinarity to promote advancements. The diverse engineering domains, information technologies, management and social sciences are combined in the industrial environment and oriented o society’s ever-changing demands. In parallel, the demographic shifts caused by population aging present room for innovation on many fronts, such as in health, technology, industry, products, and services, and in the same way in product development processes. In an attempt to tackle such issues, this article discusses how the addressing of the elderly population demands, particularly the demand for smart products, might be supported by the principles of production digitalization. In doing so, it proposes a conceptual framework for the development of smart products for the elderly, sustained by three core pillars: specific product lifecycle stages, Industrie 4.0 requirements for smart product development; and Industrie 4.0 enabling technologies which are integrated by the User-Centered Design philosophy. Their combination into a framework aims at addressing two main points: assist in the translation of elderly real consumers’ expectations and demands into more adequate, appealing products and in creating a transition path for companies who wish to incorporate the principles and technologies of production digitalization in their value chain. Furthermore, the article discusses how this proposal could be validated in the real industrial environment.

Background Researchers developing personal health tools employ a range of approaches to involve prospective users in design and development. Objective The aim of this paper was to develop a validated measure of the human- or user-centeredness of design and development processes for personal health tools. Methods We conducted a psychometric analysis of data from a previous systematic review of the design and development processes of 348 personal health tools. Using a conceptual framework of user-centered design, our team of patients, caregivers, health professionals, tool developers, and researchers analyzed how specific practices in tool design and development might be combined and used as a measure. We prioritized variables according to their importance within the conceptual framework and validated the resultant measure using principal component analysis with Varimax rotation, classical item analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results We retained 11 items in a 3-factor structure explaining 68% of the variance in the data. The Cronbach alpha was .72. Confirmatory factor analysis supported our hypothesis of a latent construct of user-centeredness. Items were whether or not: (1) patient, family, caregiver, or surrogate users were involved in the steps that help tool developers understand users or (2) develop a prototype, (3) asked their opinions, (4) observed using the tool or (5) involved in steps intended to evaluate the tool, (6) the process had 3 or more iterative cycles, (7) changes between cycles were explicitly reported, (8) health professionals were asked their opinion and (9) consulted before the first prototype was developed or (10) between initial and final prototypes, and (11) a panel of other experts was involved. Conclusions The User-Centered Design 11-item measure (UCD-11) may be used to quantitatively document the user/human-centeredness of design and development processes of patient-centered tools. By building an evidence base about such processes, we can help ensure that tools are adapted to people who will use them, rather than requiring people to adapt to tools.

Usability merupakan salah satu hal penting dalam situs web e-commerce. Hal ini terbukti pada penelitian yang dilakukan oleh User Interface Engineering, Inc., diketahui bahwa 60% waktu terbuang karena orang tidak dapat menemukan informasi yang ingin didapatnya pada suatu website dan ini berdampak pada penurunan produktivitas hingga mengalami kegagalan. Oleh karena itu, digunakanlah teknik yang harus berfokus kepada pengguna yaitu menggunakan pendekatan User Centered Design (UCD). Analisis akan dilakukan dengan membandingan antara existing product dengan development product. Development product adalah website yangakan dikembangkan dengan UCD menggunakan studi kasus toko online Dimahf. Existing product yang digunakan adalah Askalabel sebagai salah satu website e-commerce fashion hijab yang sudah berdiri tahun 2017.Evaluasi dilakukan dengan metode usability testing dan tools User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). Setelah dilakukan pengujian dengan usability testing didapatkan hasil 100% task sukses dilakukan oleh responden meskipun pertama kali menggunakan kedua website. Kemudian berdasarkan hasil pengujian UEQ didapatkan hasil rata-rata dari seluruh aspek nilai Dima.hf lebih tinggi dari pada Askalabel yaitu 1,54 sedangkan Askalabel 1,26. Responden memiliki persepsi lebih positif terhadap Dima.hf dari pada Askalabel untuk aspek perpecuity, dependability dan novelty, sedangkan Askalabel unggul pada aspek attractiveness, stimulation, dan efficiency.

Für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) ist die Umsetzung der Vision von Industrie 4.0 mit besonderen Hürden verbunden. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, wurden in der Vergangenheit bereits zahlreiche Förderprogramme ins Leben gerufen. KMU brauchen jedoch mehr als nur Förderung. Daher wurde durch das BMBF zur Fördermaßnahme „Industrie 4.0-Testumgebungen für KMU“ eine Begleitforschung eingerichtet. Diese unterstützt die Unternehmen sowohl in der Beantragung als auch während der Projektbearbeitung.   For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the realization of Industrie 4.0 is a great challenge. In order to cope with this there have been several funding initiatives in the past. But SMEs need more than just funding. That is why the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research installed the new program „Industrie 4.0-Testumgebungen für KMU“ as accompanying research. This measure supports companies during the proposal and the project phase.

Currently, flexibility and time to market have become the new keys to product development. The need for versatility, low overheads, and direct customer communication has led to the birth of an emerging breed of organizations that employ a virtual product development model (VPDM). This paper explores the role of user-centered design within a VPDM being used in an actual industrial organization, and is based on the experiences of the authors working in that organization. It also discusses possible user-centered evaluation methods, and the factors that influence their use in this model. Finally, it provides recommendations for a more seamless integration of user-centered design within this model.
