Abstract

Due to the environmental circumstances, for example, the global mercury regulation and the revised energy conservation law, the market potential and demands of LED lamps are increasing to substitute for fluorescent lamps. Component parts of our LED linear tube lamps have been developed concurrently and in parallel with supply chain partners in order to make rapid response to various customer requests regarding luminous performances, power efficiency, and quality. As a result, we have achieved outstanding improvement of luminous output at the same level of power consumption compared to competitors’ products and also price reduction - almost double brightness and 40% price reduction achieved. Furthermore, we are planning to use the external resources for rapid prototyping in order to expedite the scheme and process of new product development in the fast changing and growing LED lighting market. This paper describes a case study about the effectiveness of concurrent product development in the case of LED linear tube lamp of EVERLUCE Inc., Japan.
