CPE340 Product Design and Development for Petrochemical Engineers Syllabus:

CPE340 Product Design and Development for Petrochemical Engineers Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE

The course is aimed to
 To understand about basic concepts behind the product design.
 To know the concept behind the selection and testing of the design.
 To learn about the product architecture.
 To know about the Industrial design.
 To understand the manufacturing design.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Strategic importance of Product development – integration of customer, designer, material supplier and process planner, Competitor and customer – behavior analysis. Understanding customer promoting customer understanding-involve customer in development and managing requirements – Organization process management and improvement.

UNIT II CONCEPT GENERATION, SELECTION AND TESTING

Plan and establish product specifications. Task – Structured approaches – clarification – search externally and internally-Explore systematically – reflect on the solutions and processes – concept selection – methodology – benefits. Implications – Product change – variety – component standardization – product performance – manufacturability.

UNIT III PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE

Product development management – establishing the architecture – creation – clustering – geometric layout development – Fundamental and incidental interactions – related system level design issues – secondary systems -architecture of the chunks – creating detailed interface specificationsPortfolio Architecture.

UNIT IV INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Integrate process design – Managing costs – Robust design – Integrating CAE, CAD, CAM tools – Simulating product performance and manufacturing processes electronically – Need for industrial design-impact – design process – investigation of customer needs – conceptualization – refinement – management of the industrial design process.

UNIT V DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Definition – Estimation of Manufacturing cost-reducing the component costs and assembly costs – Minimize system complexity – Prototype basics – Principles of prototyping – Planning for prototypes – Economic Analysis.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
