Product Design and Development

Product Design

The development of an idea or concept into a tangible product involves review by personnel disciplined in sales, chemistry, product engineering, cost analysis, process, ergonomics, manufacturing, quality, logistics and program management. The successful launch and production of a product involves the use of tool sets, including:

Focus Group Analysis
Competitive Design Reviews
Design and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Error Proofing
Finite Element Analysis
Design of Experiments; Full and Partial Factorial
Prototype Development
Design Verification and Validation through Environmental, Accelerated Testing

Communication with the customer from concept to production in order to create drawings, resolve questions and provide answers, establish control plans and develop quality expectations helps a concept or idea become reality.
