Research & Development
At the outset of a bespoke project or when developing a new standard project range we tend to follow a procedure. Although a formal design process is often not appropriate for research, it can be used to provide a core development platform for several research projects
The procedure it is not a formal design process; as the quantity of stages to a procedure will depend upon the complexities of the project and if there is a pre-existing product that has followed the same design path.
An example of a product development procedure is detailed below.
- 1. New Product Plan
During the new product planning procedure of a power supply we will consider feasibility, costs and capacity before the design is passed onto R&D to be formalised. A clear specification, knowledgeable understanding of the requirments ensures our projects move swiftly.
- 2. Function Design Procedure
The function design procedure will consider if there are any existing products that follow a similar specification. Once this is determined the project will either proceed to EVT or DVT1 stages or move onto identifying the best technology for the product.
- 3. New Component Approval
- 4. Product Pilot Run
- 5. Production Transfer
- 6. Identify Technology to be Implemented
