Prototype and Production Supplier Sourcing and Development

Evaluate product against developed network of prototype and production suppliers. Ensure supplier capabilities match requirements and identify new suppliers as needed

Product Management

Utilize and coordinate product innovation techniques from start to finish

  • Facilitate activities for creative thinking and generation of new ideas

  • Organize Team - Identify internal and external resources, stakeholders, additional resources required

  • Guide development through:

    • Preparation and Discovery - Research and define your process, targets, goals; identify risks, problems, and causes

    • Creating Ideas - Generate and select new ideas for innovation, develop sketches, rough designs, initial prototypes

    • Develop Ideas - Refine design and create a plan for prototyping

    • Test and Prototype - Built prototypes, gather feedback, review outcomes, and iterate to quickly reach a viable solution

    • Refine for Final Production Design - Optimize design for performance goals, cost, and manufacturing

    • Launch and Continuous Improvement - Begin production at scale, develop a plan for support
