Supply chainA supply chain, sometimes expressed as a "supply-chain", is a complex logistics system that consists of facilities that convert raw materials into finished products and distribute them to end consumers or end customers. Meanwhile, supply chain management deals with the flow of goods within the supply chain in the most efficient manner. In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products may re-enter the supply chain at any point where residual value is recyclable. Supply chains link value chains.
Product marketingProduct marketing is a sub-field of marketing that is responsible for crafting messaging, go-to-market flow, and promotion of a product. Product marketing managers can also be involved in defining and sizing target markets along with other business stakeholders such as business development and sales as well as technical functions such as product management. Other critical responsibilities include positioning and sales enablement. Product marketing deals with marketing the product to prospects, customers, and others.
Product planningProduct Planning, or product discovery, is the ongoing process of identifying and articulating market requirements that define a product's feature set. It serves as the basis for decision-making about price, distribution and promotion. Product planning is also the means by which companies and businesses can respond to long-term challenges within the business environment, often achieved by managing the product throughout its life cycle using various marketing strategies, including product extensions or improvements, increased distribution, price changes and promotions.
Virtual product developmentVirtual product development (VPD) is the practice of developing and prototyping products in a completely digital 2D/3D environment. VPD has four main components: virtual product design (3D shape, 2D graphics/copy) virtual product simulation (drop test, crush test, etc.) virtual product staging (retail space planning, consumer research and behavior analysis) digital manufacturing (process planning, assembly/filling virtualization, plant design).
Cycle de vie (commerce)Le cycle de vie du produit est la succession d'étapes de commercialisation que traverse un (bien ou service) dans le temps. En effet, les conditions de vente d'un produit changent en permanence. Dans la culture populaire comme dans le langage des économistes, l'entreprise est volontiers comparée à un organisme ou à une espèce. Dans la théorie cognitive, le phénomène a été qualifié de projection ou métaphore. Comme l'organisme, l' « entreprise a un cycle de vie, comportant des stades de développement, dont la conception, la gestation, la naissance, la croissance, le déclin et la mort ».
Chef de produitUn chef de produit ou cheffe de produit, est un employé d'une entreprise sous les ordres d'un directeur marketing ou chef de groupe, il a la charge d'une marque, d'un produit, d'un service, d'une prestation, etc. représentant une partie du chiffre d'affaires ou de l'activité de l'entreprise. Le chef de produit est responsable du développement d'un produit ou d'une gamme de produits, depuis sa conception jusqu'à sa commercialisation. Il doit l'adapter en permanence à l'évolution et aux opportunités du marché.
Product strategyProduct strategy defines the high-level plan for developing and marketing a product, how the product supports the business strategy and goals, and is brought to life through product roadmaps. A product strategy describes a vision of the future with this product, the ideal customer profile and market to serve, go-to-market and positioning (marketing), thematic areas of investment, and measures of success. A product strategy sets the direction for new product development.
Exigence (ingénierie)Une est, dans le domaine de l'ingénierie, un besoin, une nécessité, une attente auquel un produit ou un service doit répondre ou une contrainte qu'il doit satisfaire. L'exigence peut être exprimée par une partie prenante (utilisateur, client, commercial, analyste de marchés, gestionnaire de produits, etc.) ou déterminée par les processus d'ingénierie et en particulier les activités d'études. L'approche commune à tous les domaines d'ingénierie est de définir les besoins, d'envisager des solutions, et de livrer la solution la plus appropriée.
Requirements engineeringRequirements engineering (RE) is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering. The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference series on requirements engineering that has evolved into the International Requirements Engineering Conference.
Strategic designStrategic design is the application of future-oriented design principles in order to increase an organization's innovative and competitive qualities. Its foundations lie in the analysis of external and internal trends and data, which enables design decisions to be made on the basis of facts rather than aesthetics or intuition. The discipline is mostly practiced by design agencies or by internal development departments. "Traditional definitions of design often focus on creating discrete solutions—be it a product, a building, or a service.
