  • Testing and PLM: Connecting Process and Product Models
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.80364 ProvisionalChapter chapter 5 Testing and PLM: ConnectingConnecting ProcessProcess andand ProductProduct Models in Product Development KhadijaKhadija Tahera Tahera and Christopher EarlChristopher Earl Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.80364 Abstract The product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from the idea generation, through the design, development and manufactur- ing to service and disposal of the product. Testing often is considered to be an activity to perform during the product design and development phase. However, the information about how a product is designed and tested is useful for designing the maintenance and the monitoring and maintenance data can provide useful information in developing the next generation of a new product. The main objective of this chapter is to understand how testing process in integrated into the product lifecycle. This chapter reports a case study in a UK based manufacturing company and based on that develops a framework to highlight the importance of testing. Also, proposes a conceptual model of how testing activities can be managed in the product lifecycle management process. Keywords: product development process, testing, computer aided engineering (CAE) analysis, design for maintenance, product description 1. Introduction During a product development process, information becomes available to, and is requested by, many partners, design teams and organisations. Information about properties and per- formance of components and subsystems is the basis of decisions made in the development process. This information has many sources ranging from mathematical models, simulations, testing of physical models and prototypes and customer use data.

  • Designing the Future of Cell Therapies
    DESIGNING THE FUTURE OF CELL THERAPIES INTRODUCTION Advancements in cancer immunology and recent clinical experience with emerging cellular therapeutics such as tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), engineered T-cell receptor (TCR), and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are generating huge interest and activity both academically and industrially. Additional technologies, including cellular therapies based on natural killer (NK) and other immune cells as well as novel gene editing approaches have or will enter the clinic soon. These emerging therapeutics have the potential to rapidly change cancer treatment and may represent a new treatment paradigm. To date, CAR T-cell therapies have only been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for two types of cancers (certain types of leukemia and lymphoma); other T-cell based therapies have shown remarkable activity in a limited number of solid tumors but have not yet progressed to FDA approval.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 There is great interest in exploring these new treatment modalities to encompass the treatment of solid tumors, which comprise 90% of all cancers and the majority of cancer deaths.6 Currently, multiple challenges exist for the success- ful use of T-cell-based therapies in solid tumors, including issues related to antigen selectivity and expression, the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment, tumor T-cell infiltration, and the phenomenon of T-cell exhaustion. Academia and industry are working on multiple ideas to address these barriers, and numerous T-cell-based product candidates are being developed, involving various cell sub-types, autologous and allogeneic approaches, vari- ous molecular manipulation strategies, and many different targets.

Brent Strong, Chair Michael Miles Charles Harrell School of Technology Brigham Young University August 2010 Copyright © 2010 Derek Egbert All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Testing Guidelines for New Product Development Derek Egbert School of Technology Master of Science While many literary sources outline the product development process, few make mention of the prototyping and testing stage. This thesis suggests that because of its importance in the product development process, “Testing” should be documented as a major step and not just listed as a side note. As part of the testing step, it is suggested that standardized, in-use, and market tests be used to properly evaluate a product. While many rely solely on standardized tests to validate their products, effective in-use tests can be another vital tool that can prove the performance of the product in more specific and relevant applications.
