Quality, Production and Product Life CycleRapid product development efforts and early engagement with manufacturing firms mean that development and production ramp are typically parallel processes. Initial production efforts focus on cost of goods, component sourcing and design manufacturability, and transition through focuses on mechanical tooling, reliability, agency compliance and process flow.MOTO engages with manufacturing partners to define the requirements for and provide feedback through each of these processes framing these requirements in the specifics of the product and business objectives. This process is often an overlooked but critical aspect of developing innovative products as the key innovations typically require different thinking not only for the designers and engineers but also in the manufacturing process — from screen readability, to battery life to feel of the controls to QA requirements. Subtle changes in component sourcing or product reliability make or break the success of innovative product. The critical components of the pre-production efforts are
MOTO gets both the hard engineering requirements of putting the product into production and the soft intangible touch and feel issues and how these issues interrelate. We work from to insure these subtleties are maintained from product concept through design, development and into both initial and ongoing production product. |
