objective
Our client had some in-house designers but lacked the experience needed to produce a new product design and the associated production information.
what we did
We ran a workshop with the relevant members of the Select team. We ran through several items to expand the scope.
Mechanical resistance and stability
Safety in case of fire
Hygiene, health and environment
Safety in use
Protection against noise
Energy, economy and heat retention
Durability, serviceability and identification
Temporary states during manufacture and installation
Handling and lifting
Interoperability of components and sub-assemblies
Approvals, tests and certifications
Material selection
Supply chain capability
Design automation
Interfaces
Finishes and options
Productivity
Manufacturing and DfMA
Number of concepts required
Market/consumer requirements
Costs
We presented the priorities on a matrix to our client and made appropriate adjustments. Once agreed, we carried out the detailed production level information, including architectural details, Bill of Materials (BoM) production, and schedules.
outcomes
We provided Select with a comprehensive product design which was aligned with their priorities and manufacturing processes. We also provided support to the in-house design team so they can make future adjustments as required.
Bringing in Modularize to support Selects in-house team allowed them to draw on our broad experience and complete the project within the required timeframes.
