Creativity
Forming an idea to a production ready product is a long way, even if it's short in time.

What does it make a product to be ready for production?
Concept meets production requirements
First of all a product idea is about the functionality of the product. Then usually it is about design. And the last thoughts are about how to produce it. But this is one of the most critical steps in bringing a product to life. How should a concept be changed to fit the specific production requirements? What materials should be choosen and how should they be used and manufactured? We have a lot of experience of a big variety of production methods and therefore we can answer this questions at a very early stage in the process to save time and money.
Concept
A concept is more than a small specification and less than a fully detailed plan.
Expand
What should a concept include?
Idea meets reality
A concept is made up of writen ideas about the product, first drawings about processes and forms, different options for development and production and a first estimation about time and money the project will cost.
The first concept is the base for all the stackholders of a project to decide wether to run it or not. To be able to do realistic estimations about possible problems, times and other costs usually there is a lot of experience needed in the field of the new product.
Design
It is not all about function, but it should. Good design is a must for a good product!

What is a good design?
Idea meets creatives
Usually when we talk about design we think about beautiful forms and colors. We don't think of ideal production methods, shorter production cycles and reduced costs because of a perfect design. This is valid for both worlds, the hardware and the software world. Design brings the idea into a visible form to have the first "contact" with the product.
Specification
Do you know what should be all included in your product? Take a pen and write it down.

How to write an outstanding and useful specification?
When the concept starts breathing
A specification is not only for technicians, it is also for marketing guys and other business related people in your company. A specification will include all use cases for the product, all technical relevant dimensions, requirements and needs. It will include all regulatory concerned issues and how it should be checked against them. The specification should be done in a well thought way and it shouldn't be underestimated.
Development
Development needs control, otherwise it will be a chaotic hasle for all the team members!
Expand
Why do I need project management?
Know-How meets requirements
As soon as the specification of a product is done, all members of the team wants to start immediatelly with their work. But what team, what work? That is where our project management is cominig into the game. We define team members of the project team, assign tasks and work to them and control the outcome and execution of each task.
Most of the projects needs real experts for doing the work. And experts needs to be controlled if they should use their skills in the best way and towards the project goals and specification. This ensures a development project which keeps on runnig in time and budget
Prototypes
This is the time when the product starts to breath and is visible for the first time.
Expand
Why should we build a prototype?
Development meets feedback
It is no question, either in the hardware or in the software industry, there is always a need for a prototype. A prototype (some software guys call it alpha versions) is the first chance to check the product about its user interface, the way the user or customer can interact with it and how things are working. It is very important to do a well planned prototype phase during the development of a product.
Re-Design
It is ok to make things wrong for one time, but you should learn from this lessons.
Expand
What should we do with the experiences from the past?
When good meets better
After a prototype phase there is usually a re-design phase in the process of development. This re-design can be small and smart (if the team did a good job before) or it could start sometimes with a complete new way of thinking. Anyhow, the most important lesson for a re-design is to take care of the experiences from the past and avoid to do the same failure a second time.
The re-design phase for an existing product is almost the same, it should make things better than before. Try always to think outside of the box when deciding what to do for a re-design.
Production
The production is the last cheap way to solve problems before the rollout!
Expand
What does a good production differ from a bad one?
Design meets handling
Each product on the market runs through a production. Most of the time the production is about how to build a mass product that it is as close a possible to the prototype. When you think about possible production problems already during the design phase you can save time and money. Also it is very important to keep an eye on the first production lot to do the fine tuning and make a good production documentation. This will bring you big advantages on scaling up your production line for the future.
