We have been responsible for the total revamping of the product realization
process for a major manufacturer. This process involved formally defining
the actual processes used by a number of diverse organizations, establishment of
a cross-departmental team, review of the variety of existing processes versus a
theoretical ideal and the formalization of a new process. This new process
was then reviewed by the entire management team associated with the development
process. Following final modifications, all users were trained in the new
process. Follow-up found that users found the new processes to be simpler
and easier to follow in the rapid market demands the company was
experiencing. On-time delivery of new products improved by more than 40%.
Product Road-mapping
We can provide training in a formal process for product road-mapping and then
assist your development management team in the creation of a product roadmap for
your company. Others have found that the process dramatically improves the
planning of future product developments. Clear understanding of the
technologies needed and the product priorities and plans significantly speeds
the overall development process.
Power Technology Review
Our teams' prior experience with power technology provides us with the ability
to review your existing or planned power products for competitiveness both now
and in the near term future.
