Reflection : Learning Launch 

 Challenge : 

 I work in product engineering department in my organization . In one of my recent projects my challenge   is to design a cooling system for construction machine and reduce the cost . As that will be a Global   solution for large segment of the market where we were competing with a machine which more   specified than what competitors offers . To reduce cost Design team , have a goal to develop a solution   for those markets . The project is limited to internal resources . In the start the project scope included an   engineering team of 9 members and cross functional team from marketing and customer support . This   portion of project was spanned over 60 days and included customer interviews , technicians ’ interviews   and internal stakeholders and provide an aligned solution that works its intended function . 

 Selection : 

 As a team , we have utilized tools of systems engineering and DFSS to capture voice of customer mainly   internal . We decided to utilize learning launch tool which is meant for quick testing of ideas and   prototype . This tool would give us validate our hypothesis , test our key assumptions , and perform tests   to collect confirming as well as discomforting data . 

 Application : 

 In our learning launch , we started on creating a hypothesis based on the need of those customers who   want less price of a machine . So , we start collecting data and assumptions of the machine covering   technical specs , customer service needs and cost parameters . So , we begin the cost analysis on each and   individual component and identify what part of the machine can be change significantly so that we can   reduce the cost of the product significantly and that hypothesis should meet the functional working of   the vehicle and meet the current performance . So , one of the major scope is redesign the cooling   system of a vehicle . Team started working on different parameters for each individual area and ensure   that our assumptions should be tested . There were different ways like Virtual Validation through   analysis , Customer interaction , service need analysis to test those assumptions . We managed to   leverage visual tools and customer interviews to perform test to collect meaningful insights . we   structure our tasks , specific meetings , reviews , to become more agile . 

 The assumption we collect we design the test for them and conducted them and confirm the data that   this the way forward that we need to proceed with to solve the problem . 

 Insight : 

 Learning Launch tool is very beneficial . By applying the learning launch tool our team identified the need   of the customer thus we have an idea , and we test that idea as well as gained deeper insight on other   key assumptions of performance aspects cost assumptions . Testing assumptions helped in making 

 timely decisions on continuing development and make changes to product specifications which are key   in later phase of product launch . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it   into future launch designs . 

 Approach : 

 Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this   stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As team wanted to come up with   meaningful ideas in short span and test assumptions to pick a favorable idea forward . Team then   designed methods to test assumptions by discussing with customer and technicians , performing   simulations . Next time I would use the Learning Launch tool activity as a focal point for a series of design   thinking activities .
