Abstract
The focus of this research is to develop right-first-time new projects and underlying new products using the principles of Failure Mode Avoidance. The Failure Mode Avoidance currently focuses on producing a right-first-time product via a paradigm shift from the material stages to information stages of NPD process. It is primarily a risk management strategy implemented in the NPD process with a special focus on avoidance and mitigation response methods. The Failure Mode Avoidance refers to an ideal state where it is presumed that all potential failure modes and corresponding causes can be identified and prevented right early in the information based phases of NPD process. The current FMA frameworks including BEQIC FMA framework and MFMA (Manufacturing FMA) framework are heavily focused on engineering design and manufacturing processes respectively in isolation and lacks a holistic approach to achieve a right-first-time NPD project as an output of the NPD process. Furthermore, these framework focuses only on the robustness improvement in engineering design and fails to include mistake prevention, which is equally essential when dealing with avoidance of failure modes in the NPD process. Thus, this research aims to address these gaps via the development of an analytical and holistic NPD FMA framework that focuses on minimizing 'asymmetry' in the NPD process via avoiding and mitigating risks arising due to potential failures and helps facilitate development of right-first-time new projects as well as products. The proposed framework is applied in a real-life company environment for the validation of approach.
