1) Product lifecycle refers to the process in which a product is made in physical form. The steps taken from its need to its disposal.
2) So that they can create a plan that will yeild the most returns and also so that they can research into the most cost effective ways of manufacturing the product.
3) I would add more specific features, like the ability for its light to turn on and off with the changing of day and night. I would also make it compatible with phones so you can upload information straight from your phone onto the alarm clock.
4) Yes, I feel that this product will cease to exist with the evolution of phones and there ability to alarm you of upcoming events.
5) A trade-off refers to a choice all manuufacturers must face when creating products. An example is choosing a higher quality plastic at the expense of a higher cost or heavier load.
6) Yes. In terms of plastic, color choice, cost, etc.
7) Because of scarcity and the fact that there is only so many raw materials in this world.
8) Product designers can take recycled products and find ways to re-engineer them in order to create the same product over again in a cost efficient way.
9) As consumers, the society is responsible for disposing of their used products in the right way. Instead of throwing used products in the trash, they can recycle them or send them to plantswhere their uses can be further used.
10) Be more environmentally aware and be consious of what items I am disposing of.
