LcShi, welcome back, lines repaired?
I hadn't heard about earthquakes in China, saw the flooding in Jakarta/INdonesia.
For many products, there are well known standards to control products so that comparisons are made on the same base.
What were you thinking about?Last edited by Peter_1; 07-02-2007 at 07:33 AM.
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: how to evaluate a product
Personnally, It's a complex topic relating to something about function design, energy efficiency, products' quality, cost, profit, after service etc, and it includes different concepts in different areas. So, it may be difficult to answer in the round. Some veterans of those fields could make the satisfactory answers.

Re: how to evaluate a product
No 1. Reliability
No 2. Reliability
No 3. Easy to repair when it proves not to be reliable
No 4. It needs to look like if it's reliable
No 5. Flexibility, you can produce the best A/C system in the world but unless it can be fitted in most situations, it's never going to be the preferred unit.
No 6. Easy to service and maintain
No 7. Easy to install
The above is my personal list, unfortunately in today's society "Cost effective" will be quite high on that list.

Re: how to evaluate a product
Lc,
I would say a product is good from the performance and the reliability. It is good to know that you propose to manufacture some HVAC products. Could I ask you as to what you propose to manufacture?
With best wishes,

Re: how to evaluate a product
Why don't you list what you think the list should look like?
We could then evaluate what you want and debate it.
At the moment you seem to want a specific responce and are not happy with what you have been given.
Let us know what you want and then perhaps we can contribute?

Re: how to evaluate a product
Ahh Lc,
Reliability is invisible, so is every other item on my list apart from the "look reliable".
But if you design anything that you are planning to mass produce, then you have to design to build a reputation.
If your product looks like the dog's shiny bits, then you might initially sell a large quantity but how much you sell after a period of time will depend on your reputation.
For example, look at the motorcycle industry. There is no surprise that the Japanese manufacturers are the biggest players. Ducatis, Harleys and Triumphs all look nice but on my Yamaha I can cross Europe, in any weather, and expect to get to my destination without breaking down.

Re: how to evaluate a product
Hi,
Not only in motorcycle industry , seems they can make a better copy then original and then develop it to new high standard....like Mycom, Daikin and so on....
Anyhow we need years to establish our brand, products....
In my opinion there must be some connection with culture...meaning when you do something do it well and within short time you must success
