Company A Quality Management Process In New Product Development

Every product has its specific life cycle. Because of intensive competitions and changes in terms of consumer bodies, product life cycles show the trend to be gradually shortened, while companies decide to expend and develop continuous product innovation. However product safety and quality might be neglected if the development and market launch faster. Therefore enterprises have to face his challenge. Moreover it is always a trade off between faster and bigger since both consumers and government require higher standard and quality of consuming products in 21st centuries. Then it is a much necessary to establish a strict and efficient tool to facilitate new product development process of quality management process. Based on this background, Company A makes the study on "product quality planning" and "Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point" as the fundamental methodologies in the sense. R&D and Quality of Company A have been working on integrating this process and tools into Quality In Innovation (QII) in order to ensure the company's entire quality control process smooth, orderly and in a logic manner. The objective, eventually, is to guarantee the product safety and reduce hazards and risks as well.Firstly, the quality management theory will be systematically studied, including four aspects:the quality of new product development process management overview, product Advance Quality Planning (APQP) theoretical review, hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) Theoretical Review and a summary of existing research.Secondly, the development background of Company A would be introduced as the pre-requisites of diagnosing the difficulties during new development. That includes two parts: quality management model and defects in new product development.Thirdly, a quality control of the company's new products, present situation, we construct the quality management process based on an innovative model (QII).
