Cost

Made to order (JIT)

Self assembled

Mass produced

A more expensive option

Don't have to pay for storage

No pressure to offload stock

Cheap options

Reduce material cost by ordering lower quality alternatives

Reduce the research time

Premium options

My product should be a premium product in order to fit in with the design philosophy of Nest retailers

Cheaper price per unit, can make a better profit

Have to pay for storage

More pressure to offload the stock

Hard to order the right amount, too much and wasted stock. Too little, and lost profits

Don't have to pay people to assemble the product, save money

Inconvenience for the consumer

Less space needed, can store more and packaging is cheaper.

Reduce the size of the product, this will reduce the amount of materials and packaging needed

Will attract more people

Will make a larger profit

Price

Not confirmed, but somewhere around the £50 - £100 mark

Cost to produce

Should be somewhere in the middle, not so cheap that the product quality will be reflected, but no too much that there is barely any profit made

Will cost to prototype, depending on the success rate, it could be low cost, or cost more if more prototypes are needed

Materials

Could use materials that can be reused and recycled

May not appeal to the consumer

May not look as premium

Will buy the materials from one supplier, this should reduce the cost of the product materials.

The materials may change throughout the designing process.
