    Introduction To New Product

    Development

    Meaning Of Product:

    E.g.:- milk, computer, shoes, service after sales, railway services etc. a

    product can be divided into two categories

    o Tangible goods

    o Intangible goods

    Tangible products are known as goods that can be touched, felt and seen.

    E.g.:- computer, mobile phone etc

    Intangible products are known as services that cannot be touched and seen

    as the customer can feel and experience only after utilizing it. E.g.:-

    service after sales

    Stages Of New Product Development

    Before the introduction of a product into the market, it goes through

    several stages of development. These stages are known as stages of new

    product development. It includes the following:

    Idea Generation:

    Companies seek new ideas to enhance the performance of the existing

    products and to innovate new ideas. This stage is called idea generation

    stage. There are many sources for idea generation. It may be from

    customers, dealers etc.

    Employees throughout the company can also be a source of idea. Toyota

    claims that its employees submit two million ideas annually over 85% of

    which are implemented.

    Companies also find good ideas by researching competitors products and

    services. They can find out what the customers like or dislike about their

    competitors products. Ideas can also come from investors. External

    research, surveys industrial publications research and development etc.

    5/42

    But the main source of idea generation is the customers by their

    grievances and complains and feedback. However, although ideas can

    flow from many sources, it is not feasible to implement all the ideas

    generated due to lack of time and capital.

    Idea Screening

    The main purpose of idea generation is to collect a larger number of ideas.

    However, not all ideas can be commercially viable. Therefore, the

    companies filter the less viable ideas with the help of systematic process.

    Companies can use various parameters to screen the ideas such as market

    size, technical capabilities, potential competition etc.

    Addressing the following issues will also help the companies to analysis

    the attractiveness of ideas.

    Whether the product idea match the existing

    products of the company.

    The degree to which the new product can

    cannibalize the sale of the existing product.

    Companys ability to produce and market the

    product.

    6/42

    Buying behavior and the probable changes in the

    environment.

    While screening the ideas, an organization may commit two types or

    errors.

    Drop error where the firm rejects a very good idea.

    Cro error where a company selects a poor idea.

    Concept Testing And Development:

    All ideas that survive in the process of screening will be studied in details.

    They will be developed into mature products. At this stage, the idea is

    submitted for the external evaluation to get a feedback from the market. It

    helps a firm are organization to collect important information like

    customers initial reactions towards the product development. During this

    stage, new product idea is described in the form of one or more benefit

    that is then presented to a sample of potential customers for their

    reactions.

    Marketing Strategy:

    Following a successful concept test, the new product manager will

    develop a preliminary strategy plan for introducing new product in the

    market. The plan consists of three parts.

    6

    7/42

    The first part describes the target market size, structure and behavior

    for the first few years.

    The second part outlines the planned price distribution strategy and

    marketing budget for the 1st year.

    The third part of marketing strategy plan describes the long run sales

    and profit goals and the marketing mix strategy over time.

    Business Analyses.

    After management develops the product concept and market strategy, it

    can evaluate the business attractiveness. Business analyses are the first in-

    depth financial evaluation of new product to be developed. Here

    management needs to prepare sales cost and profit projections to

    determine whether they satisfy company objectives. If they do, thenconcept can move to the development stage. SOWT analysis will be

    conducted at this stage by the organization. It also includes the

    following:

    Total sales estimation:-

    These are the sum of estimated first- time sales, replacement sales and

    repeat sales. Its method depends upon whether the product is one time

    purchase(an engagement ring), an infrequently purchased products like

    7

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    8/42

    toaster, auto mobile etc. or a frequently purchased products like consumer

    and industrial non durables.

    Estimation costs and profits.

    The R&D, manufacturing, marketing and financial departments estimates

    the costs. The profitability of the new product is estimated through various

    financial tools. The simplest technique is the breakeven analysis in which

    the management estimates how many units of the product the company

    would have to sell to break even with the given price and cost structure. If

    the management believes that sales could easily reach the break even

    number, it is likely to move the project into development stage.

    Product Development

    In this stage, detailed technical analysis is conducted to know whether theproduct produced at costs is low enough to make the final price attractive

    to the customer.Here a working model or a prototype is developed to

    disclose all tangible and intangible attributes of the product. A product

    protocol is prepared which is a detailed downiest containing the important

    attributes that are expected in the product. Once the protocol has been

    developed, it is handed over to the research the development department

    to develop the prototype of the product.

    Test Marketing:

    9/42

    The test marketing is the stage where the product is introduced in a few

    selected cities. During this stage, the company has to fate the following

    expense:

    High advertisement

    High manufacturing cost.

    High distribution cost etc.

    For testing the product, marketer needs to make the decision on the

    following issues.

    The no. of cities in which the product is to be tested.

    Geographic location of the cities.

    Time to carry ort test marketing

    Through this exercise, company can know the customers response,

    feedback, suggestions, complaints and any other changes required to be

    done for product modification.

    After successfully laughing the product in selected cities the company

    launches the new product in all other cities.There are certain methods of

    product testing.

    Alpha Testing

    10/42

    In this method, a group of target audience is selected from the employees

    of the company.

    Beta Testing:

    It is carried out at the customers site. Generally, it is applicable for

    industrial products where the customization takes place.

    Gamma Testing:

    It is carried out on a long term basis where the customers uses the product

    extensively and gives response after a long period of time. Say six

    months.

    Commercialization:

    The results of the test marketing help marketers to decide the changes thatare needed in the marketing mix before entering into the market. It also

    helps the marketer to decide the amount of production distribution

    strategy, selling efforts and other issue like providing guarantees, service

    after sales etc. the product enters the market during the commercialization

    stage.

    Tata Nano - ONE LAKH CAR PROJECT

    Peoples Car

    A promise is a promise, said Rattan Tata, Chairman, Tata Motors, on

    10th January, 2008, when the Nano was first displayed at the Auto

    Show in Delhi. The Nano project didnt grab the attention of only

    Indians; the entire world had their eyes glued to the worlds cheapest

    car.A truly Peoples Car, this time is from India. Though the dealer price is

    Rs. 1 lakh, the price on road, when it will be launched, will reach

    around Rs. 1,25,00 but it will be still more affordable and will be more

    eco-friendly than most other cars giving a mileage of around

    23km/liters. The price of the car is such that a lot of rich and HNIs, if

    interested, can buy the car just by a single swipe of their credit cards.

    Providing a car worth rupees one lakh car was the dream of the

    chairman of Tata motors Mr. Rattan Tata. And with high qualified IT

    skills people he has shown the Indian talents to whole the world.

    Idea conceived by - Rattan Tata

    Cost of development - 1700 crores

    Manufacturing cost

    (excluding dealer margin and taxes)- Rs 65,000 per unit

    Front side looks more like Matiz (or Spark as we now call it)Back

    side looks more like India with those long tail lights.

    Insight:

    People often criticize something that is making waves

    everywhere. This has also been the case with Tata Nano.

    Competitors, safety regulators, environmentalists and most others

    conceived the problems that India will face, when such a car isavailable, much before the actual launch of the car.

    This will result into:

    New Product Development And Nano

    As seen before, A product can be considered new under the following

    situations:-

    New-to-the-world products

    New product lines

    Additions to existing product lines

    Improvements and revisions of existing products

    Repositioning

    Cost reductions

    As far as Nano is concerned, it falls into new to the world products in the

    context that it has made a history for the cheapest car ever made without

    compromising on quality. I.e. best way value analysis.

    It can also be considered as new product in the since of cost reduction as

    its the first time in the history that such a cheap car is produced.

    The story of the Nano is not confined to its impact on the auto industry.

    It's a tale that illuminates the India of todayan eager, ambitious nation

    with a combination of engineering talent, a desire for low costs and value,

    and the hunger of young managers looking to break from a hidebound

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    18/42

    corporate environment. Indeed, the team that worked on the Nanoon

    average aged between 25 and 30has helped to flatten Tata Motors'

    stodgy, multilayered management structure, which has resulted in an

    unexpected side-benefit called "organizational innovation".

    Idea Generation And Nano

    A dream is born

    Says, I observed families riding on two- wheelers -- the father driving thescooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him

    holding a little baby. Add to that the slippery roads & Night time too. It is

    downright dangerous. It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of

    a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family.

    So when Tata Motors needed someone to take charge of the company'smost ambitious plan yet to build the world's cheapest car ever Ravi Kant,

    who by then had become the company's managing director, again turned

    to Wagh. Wagh remembers what he learned marketing the little truck.

    "People want to move from two-wheelers to four-wheelers," he says.

    "Today they can't afford it."

    More and more can, but Indian car buyers today represent a tiny slice of a

    potentially giant market India has just seven cars per 1,000 people. India's

    auto industry has grown an average of 12% for the past decade, but just

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    19/42

    1.3 million passenger vehicles were sold in India in the fiscal year ending

    March 2006. That means a billion Indians buy about the same number of

    cars in a year as 300 million Americans buy in a month.

    If four wheels cost as little as two wheels, that could change fast. About 7

    million scooters and motorcycles were sold in India last year, typically for

    prices between 30,000 rupees and 70,000 rupees, about $675 to $1,600.

    Tata is targeting a price of 100,000 rupees one lakh, in Indian terms of

    measurement or about $2,500 at current exchange rates, for its small car.

    That sounds impossibly cheap in the West but remains three times higher

    than India's annual per capita income. The average pay for factory

    workers at Tata Motors is just $5,500 a year.

    Idea screening

    The next step was the screening of idea. How is this dream possible?

    What should they make?

    A scooter with two extra wheels at the back for better stability?

    An Auto-rickshaw with four wheels?

    A three wheeled car like a closed auto- rickshaw??

    A four wheeled car made of Engineering Plastics?

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    20/42

    A Four wheeled rural car?

    Rolled up Plastic curtains in place of windows?

    Openings like Auto rickshaws from the side

    A four wheeled open car with safety side bars?

    But the market wanted a car and if they build a peoples car it should be a

    car and not something that people would say, Ah! Thats just a scooter

    with four wheels or an auto-rickshaw with four wheels & not really a

    Car.

    Trying to build a car cheap enough for motorcycle buyers seems to make

    sense now but seemed crazy several years ago when Rattan Tata, longtime

    chairman of Tata Motors and scion of the nation's giant Tata Group

    conglomerate, first mentioned his dream of building a one-lakh car in

    2003. "They are still saying it can't be done," he says, insisting that it can

    and will. "Everybody is talking of small cars as $5,000 or $7,000. After

    we get done with it, there will hopefully be a new definition of low-cost."

    21/42

    Concept Testing And Developing

    Before starting the project, Wagh did something no one at Tata Motors

    ever had: He talked to customers. The three-wheeler men inevitably

    insisted on a cheap, dependable truck that could go from village to market

    carrying, say, a ton of onions or potatoes, one night, as sunset approached,

    Wagh stuck with one rickshaw driver. He says, "I kept asking the

    question. Why? Why? Why do you want a four-wheeler?" Wagh

    remembered. Finally, he got the real answer. It turned out it wasn't really a

    problem of transportation of vegetables If I had a four-wheeler, I would

    have better marriage prospects in my village," the young man said.

    Drivers of three-wheelers are looked down upon in India. Wagh realized

    that four wheels had emotional, not just practical, appeal.

    Thus the new product was now to be developed.

    But what type of product?

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    22/42

    The car to cost Rs. 1 lakh on road.

    The car should be built on a different platform than conventional

    ones.

    It must be meeting all the safety and regulatory requirements.

    It has to be built on a scale which shall be more than double the

    earlier launches of similar products and the ramp up must be

    smooth.

    The car has to be designed so that it can be exported to other

    countries as the domestic demand may not materialize as per

    projections.

    The car must be a beacon for the Indian Automobile industry and

    prove to the world that we are capable to take any challenge and

    come out worthy winners.

    That quest to build the world's cheapest car hasn't ended. The Nano should

    be available this fall, but the mission began back in 2003, when Rattan

    Tata, chairman of Tata Motors and the $50 billion Tata conglomerate, set

    a challenge to build a "people's car". Tata gave an engineering team, led

    by 32-year-old star engineer Garish Wagh, three requirements for the new

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    23/42

    vehicle: It should be low-cost, adhere to regulatory requirements, and

    achieve performance targets such as fuel efficiency and acceleration

    capacity.

    The design team initially came up with a vehicle which had bars instead

    of doors and plastic flaps to keep out the monsoon rains. It was closer to a

    quadricycle than a car, and the first prototype, even a bigger engine, which

    boosted the power by nearly 20 per cent, was still dismal. "It was an

    embarrassment," says Wagh.

    But failure didnt stop them

    they quickly realized it was necessary to bring everyone on board, "else it

    leads to last-minute heartache and delays". Every morning, he would

    spend an hour or two on the floor of the Pune factory, insisting thateveryone involveddesigners, manufacturing teams, and vendor

    development peoplebe there to accelerate decision-making and

    problem-solving.

    Over time, Wagh's team grew to comprise some 500 engineers, an

    impractically large group to gather on a daily basis. So instead, a coreteam of five engineers gathered every day at three pm to discuss the latest

    developments. Each engineer represented a different part of the car:

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    24/42

    engine and transmission, body, vehicle integration, safety and regulation,

    and industrial design.

    The body had to be changed because Rattan Tata, over six feet tall

    himself, wanted it to be easy for tall people to get in and out of the car.

    "Imagine the plight of the body designerhe went through hundreds of

    iterations, then at the last minute the car length was increased by 100

    millimeters!" Wagh says. The attention to detail paid off: When the car

    rolled onto the dais at the Auto Show in New Delhi in January, and Rattan

    Tata stepped out of the driver's seat with ease, it made an immediate

    impact.

    What shook the automobile world most was the fact that the designers

    seem to have done the impossible: The sleek, sophisticated Nano doesn't

    look flimsy or inexpensive. If it had been an upgraded scooter on four

    wheels, Tata still would have been applauded for making a family of four

    safer on Indian roads. The Nano, however, affords both safety and status.

    "The innovation wasn't in technology; it was in a mindset change".

    Business Analysis

    Cost

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    25/42

    Since the car had to be built within a cost of Rs. 1 Lac, no conventional

    design would work as the costs shall be higher and so the entire car has to

    be redesigned.

    What makes Nano so less expensive can be well understood from the

    following diagramThe design has to question the need of each and every

    component from the point of view of its necessity of existence and also

    the minimum requirements of its functionality. Value Engineering

    concepts have to be deployed to finalize the minimum requirements.

    Disruptive Technology:

    Is a Technology that brings radical change by introducing new ways of

    doing things usually at a Technology that is:

    Significantly cheaper than existing Technology.

    Is much higher performing?

    Has greater functionality and

    Is more convenient to Use.

    Brings to market a totally different Value

    proposition than the one available and can change

    the Paradigm about a product.

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    26/42

    The Guiding factor was that the cost has to be minimized for each

    component yet maintaining its basic functionality.

    The Alternatives are:

    Reduce Consumption of Material being used.

    Alternate Suppliers to get same material at fewer

    prices.

    Use alternate materials.

    Eliminate use of Material.

    Eliminate a process Or a Combination of the

    above.

    The design was outsourced to Italy's Institute of Development in

    Automotive Engineering, but Tata himself ordered changes along the way.

    Most recently he vetoed the design of the windshield wipers. His solution:

    a single wiper instead of two, giving the car a cleaner look.

    THE COST REDUCTION PARADIGM Value Engineering Alternatives:

    The target was very clearly defined that within the given cost structure of

    1 Lac all the components have to be allocated a maximum price and the

    same had to be achieved using the available alternatives.

    27/42

    The Guiding factor was that the tax structure, on materials and

    manufacturing, must support the final cost of Rs. 1 Lac

    The Decisions were:

    Establish factory in a tax free zone.

    Get the tax advantages on infrastructure

    development.

    Get the suppliers to establish base near the factory.

    Get special concessions from State Govt.

    In short select a manufacturing location where all

    the advantages could be achieved.

    In short select a manufacturing location where all the advantages could be

    achieved.

    Total sales estimation

    Now the question was, how much to produce

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    28/42

    It was estimated that the demand for the peoples

    car shall be at least twice the demand for Maruti

    800, the lowest end car. Initial projections were at

    about 500 K cars per year.

    The basic reason was the conviction that the target

    price shall redefine the 4 - wheeler segment.

    The price decision of Rs 1 lakh is definitely going

    to make a lot many people transit to 4-wheeler fold

    and that shall explode the demand.

    F only 10% customers of 9 Million two wheeler

    market transit to 4-wheelers it shall amount to 50%

    of the passenger car market share.

    It was decided to set up plants with 5 lacs cars per

    annum capacity and ramp the same up in stages, in

    line with increase in market demand.

    The initial response to the Nano has been overwhelming and the tiny,Noddy-land car is expected to help the company cross several milestones.

    With revenues at Rs 1,29,994 crore for the financial year 2006-7, and

    group companies enjoying a market capitalization of Rs 2,51,487 crore as

    29/42

    on January 10, 2008, the Tata Group is on a strong footing, contributing

    more than 3 per cent to India's GDP. Nano, being the world's cheapest car,

    has made international players sit up in amazement and the company has

    received proposals from some African, Latin American and Southeast

    Asian countries to manufacture the car there.

    Product Development

    The Final verdict

    THE CAR COSTS Rs 1 lac

    Test Marketing And Commercialization

    Nano is soon going to launch by the end of April. It will be

    commercialized in whole of India. It is mostly targeted to the middle class

    and lower middle class people. The effects of Nano and its

    commercialization will be soon known after it comes into the market.

    TATA NANO V/S MARUTI 800

    Competitor

    As we know the price of Nano car is much affordable for middle class

    people. This car can be easily affordable by middle class people. In the

    Indian market it will face only by one competitor that is Maruti 800,

    which produced by Maruti udyog.

    The real question arise who will have the last laugh Tata or Maruti 800?

    The answer is neither Tata nor Maruti 800 but they are the buyers who

    will have the last laughCan Nano beat the popularity of Maruti 800. All the things depend on

    their marketing strategy that how they will attract to Indian middle class

    customers.Never mind the fact that what was touted as a Rs.100,000 car

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    32/42

    will cost at least a fifth more and that's for the standard non-air

    conditioned version.

    Jagdish Khattar, a former head of Maruti 800 manufacturer Maruti Udyog

    Ltd, says it's too early to say whether the Nano will overtake the original.

    "It's a good product but it's still too early to say whether it will overtake

    the 800 because it caters to a totally new market segment," he said while

    watching a live telecast of Tata's press conference after unveiling of the

    Nano. But clearly, at least one other manufacturer was worried.

    Whether or not the Nano will overtake the Maruti 800, one thing is for

    sure: the current Auto Expo will be remembered for Tata's people's car

    and for that product alone. It is the Nano that has captured the hearts and

    minds of a majority of the spectators.

    Nano wont be successful. As shown in the chart, the portion of purple

    color which shows failure is not there at all.

    Conclusion

    MY OPINION

    After the study of various aspects I found that

    Nano Car Is Definitely Not For:-

    Someone looking for better performance

    Someone who is looking to impress

    Someone who want to speed trial on Sunday

    Someone who is looking for long drives.

  • 8/2/2019 18340710 a Study on New Product Development With Tata Nano and Comparitive Study on Maruti 800 110425123

    41/42

    But Nano Car Is Defiantly For

    Someone who is looking to buy a car but cannot afford much price.

    A students who want to go college, tuition instead of bike etc.

    Someone who depends on second hand car.

    For a house wife who can buy a car with her own savings.

    Someone who depends on scooter.

    So Nano is not a basically a luxury cars but it can fulfilled the all

    capacity for middle class people.

    Impact Of Tata Nano On Life Of Common Man

    In India every one can afford a Nano, just as we buy any electronic

    appliances for a home uses.

    Decrease in price of second hand car.

    High traffic on roads due to sale of exceeds car on roads.

    Increase in loan on car installments.

    42/42

    And finally Nano is definitely better than Maruti 800.

    tata has succeeded in value engineering of the product and its great

    success for tatas. Its something on which India can feel proud of.

    Nano has been developed effectively.
