Now we will discuss about each stage of the product life cycle. 2.1 Development The development stage can be a protracted stage and will involve activities such as design, planning, costing, test marketing, etc. The costs are high, with no earned revenue (and thus it does not register as a stage on the diagram at Figure A1-1). Promotion for awareness may commence in advance of introduction of the product to the marketplace. 2.2 Birth (or Introduction stage) This is the stage where a product will be introduced after initial decisions like selection, technology selection, location and layout design of production facility after study of various aspects of business unit in transpiration and raw material, manpower resources availability etc. This is the stage we call it as Birth stage of the product. 2.3 Growth stage After introducing the product the next stage for any product is looking for growth.

The objective of product design is to create a good or service with excellent functional utility and sales appeal at an acceptable cost and within a reasonable time. The product should be produced using high-quality, low-cost materials and methods. It should be produced on equipment that is or will be available when production begins. The resulting product should be competitive with or better than similar products on the market in terms of quality, appearance, performance, service life, and price.
