Developing New Products
A robust design must hit all the right notes of form, fit and function; it is the foundation of any successful product development effort. Sound decisions in the design phase will yield cost reduction benefits that propagate through all subsequent phases of the product lifecycle. Design errors, conversely, can eventually require costly correction through machine retooling, field upgrades, or even product recalls. As the old saw goes: Measure carefully and cut correctly.
The cost of fixing a problem in design increases proportionally with its design timeline from its distance from conception.
