Huawei Smartphone: Product Design, Development and Bottleneck Analysis

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the product design and development process for a Huawei smartphone, focusing on key stages such as idea generation, screening, feasibility studies, preliminary design, pilot runs, and product launch. It also delves into operations management, specifically addressing bottleneck analysis within the context of the food industry. The report suggests four strategies to manage bottlenecks: adding resources, monitoring the bottleneck operation, ensuring quality parts, and optimizing the production schedule. These strategies aim to improve process capacity and efficiency. The assignment emphasizes practical applications and provides valuable insights into both product development and operational efficiency.

Q.1 Elaborate the product design and development phases for a new Huawei smartphone
before it is manufactured and introduced to the market?
Answer:
Huawei can use six step product design process which can help it in generating good
product in market. This process is stated below:
Idea generation: this is the first step in this process where Huawei smartphone have
to generate new ideas, this can be done with help of employees and spatial managers which
can collect the ideas and take inspirations from different things.
Screening of idea: Here Huawei can use all idea and select the best one out of all
ideas which are generated at privies stage.
Feasibility Study: this is the most important stage this is because in this stage all
evolution related to idea and design of product will be checked.
Preliminary Design: Here Huawei has to make and primary or raw design which is
related to product and can help in getting overview of product design.
Pilot Runs and Testing: Here Huawei can distribute some samples to employees and
other outsiders for testing there product in market.
New Product Launch: Huawei has to launch the product for selling purpose.
Q.2 Suggest FOUR ways to manage bottlenecks using increase the process capacity in
operations management at the food industry?
Answer: Following points can be used in increase the process capacity in operations
management
 Add resources at the bottleneck operation Can also be done in food industry where
there are number of resources which can be used
 Always have a part for the bottleneck to process this is because it helps in monitoring.
This includes failure of equipment etc.in food industry.
 Assure that the bottleneck works only on quality parts this is because if it is used on
bad parts than it will leads to wastage of food industrial resources.

 Examine your production schedule Will also effective in bottle neck system as it will
help firm in management of product mix and will ensure complete development of
food industry
