Modeling allows you to achieve the desired result with less effort and cost-effectively optimize all stages of the life cycle.
From the point of view of the consumer, the product carries not only consumer properties. Its quality as a source of information is a real interest for the consumer and new ways to financial success for the manufacturer.
Life cycle philosophy
Everything that man produces, in a strange way, acquires the properties of living organisms, and various stages of being in a dynamic environment of social relations are available to him.
Everything has an impact on the environment, but the life cycle as an example to follow in order to achieve the desired result is important in the social sphere. The tractor will cause more damage to the natural environment if it is running, but less if it is stationary.
Anyway he:
- was produced anddelivered;
- works or stops;
- wearing or rusting;
- becomes unrepairable and goes into a different state.
A nuclear power plant is a completely different alignment and has a much greater impact not only on quality indicators:
- standard of living of the population;
- economics and production;
- ecology, climate and living conditions.
Peaceful atom has less negative impact on everything that surrounds it, but how much more productive it is than coal, oil and gas for thermal power plants can only be said in the context of time.
There were no accidents - nuclear power plants are better than any other source of energy. There was an accident - there will be no economic effect, no life in any of its forms on a very large territory either.
Simple goods: from production to consumption
The life cycle of a product on the example of a tractor is one option. Food products have a different feature: they are produced repeatedly, and the fact of the end of their existence is not the actual death of the “species” instance.
On the contrary, the consumption of milk, bread, sausages is a real feedback that has a much greater impact on the quality of the "life" of a product of this "type". No advertising campaign can replace a quality consumer effect.
Food is more production than real goods. Here, the stages of introduction, growth, maturity and decline in the context of the product are illusory. Everything will be eaten, used or used, but the information will remain. Production will produce fresh goods given this information.
Real examples of product and production cycles are always accompanied by related procedures. For the former, delivery and expiration dates matter, for the latter, the supply of raw materials, maintenance and support.
Shipping matters for the economic effect. The product is different for the product: if the bread arrived fresh at the right time, the sales will be greater. If the greens are cut from the garden and immediately delivered to the market, the consumer is more likely to buy them, and the percentage of damage to the goods will be much lower.
The time factor is important not only in the context of sales. Time matters in the organization of production. Indirectly, everything that ensures production, in one way or another, affects the resulting product and its sale.
Examples of cycles considered for: each stage of production and sale; every moment of time, are essential islands of relevant information that need to be continuously updated and improved.
Advertising and information moment in life
Any product is information. It is of interest for close study by the manufacturer if he expects to obtain an economic effect. The product carries information for the consumer.
If a consumer has no desire to spoil his he alth with a food product, fray his nerves with a washing machine whose drum fell off after the first wash, or throw away a tool bought yesterday, then the consumer will collect information in a way that is available to him, but not So,how they impose it on him.
An interesting feature: if milk and dairy products are somehow still advertised, but not as actively as sneakers, diapers and pads, then bread is never. After all, they buy it. But there are so many hidden reserves. Not everyone needs windows, doors and stretch ceilings, and not as often as bread, cakes and matches.
Manufacturer in pursuit of profit often misses the quality factor or deliberately sells such matches in which: from the whole box you can light and use only a couple of pieces. The effect of a train - you buy matches not in boxes, but in packages, so to speak, imposed wholesale.
Screwdrivers, hammers, drills and similar tools, the manufacturer also wants to sell only in bulk, its advertising information is focused on wholesale consumption. Why? This is in demand by retail summer residents and builders, who everyone loves to do with their own hands, but they do not read advertisements from tool exhibitions. But there are many summer residents and independent craftsmen-builders, and they love a high-quality and practical tool.
The life cycle of information systems is a reality for any product, any purpose and any production. The more interest the manufacturer has in his financial well-being, the more he pays attention to information, its accumulation and use.
Negative consumer information pressure
Modern advertising is like alcohol in a friendly conversation: when in excess, it is not good. The manufacturer sometimes trusts the advertising agency so much, its ideas aboutthe life cycle of information systems in a specific application to his product, which forgets one very simple thing:
- manufacturer wants to sell the product to the consumer, quickly and at the highest affordable price;
- advertising agency wants to sell their ideas to the manufacturer, to talk about examples of cycles from the life of products that really worked.
As a result, the consumer is left without the information he needs one on one with a bunch of goods and quickly remembers what his wife, friend and neighbor in the country said to him.
A characteristic feature of the life of goods, the interests of the manufacturer, the advertising company and the consumer: the negative is always balanced by the positive. Experience and practice for everyone - a component of the life of goods always normalizes production, relations between the manufacturer and the advertising company, the product and the consumer.
Special product groups: information and its tools
Examples of actual information product cycles:
- information sheet;
- book, booklet, technical description;
- algorithm or program.
They live a completely different, but far from virtual life. Everything that enters the mind of the consumer is reflected in it regarding his interests and opinions on each type of product separately. Another book, written not at all about a specific product, will produce a much greater economic effect for the manufacturer than a colorful booklet that will eat up all the income from the sale of a batch of goods.
The choice of whom to feed - their employees or an advertising agency, makes the manufacturer. Choice of which productbuy, the consumer does.
Information and programs for its effective use are goods with blurred boundaries. These are rather ideas that are characterized by reincarnation. Information goods change their appearance and essence in the process of life. Here the final stage of the cycle of life is absent as such, but reincarnation is real and always more effective than the birth of a new one.
