Product Research & Development
I manage the critical interdependencies and communication among all of the departments involved in product development, from discovery through commercialization. Speed-to-market is critical in the ever-increasing competitive landscape; however, quality must never be sacrificed.
Your Dream, Vision, Purpose, and Mission all come together when you bring products to market – so make sure you’re bringing your best.
Michael Gerber
An integral part of a business growth strategy involves the creation of innovative products and services to achieve competitive market advantages and better address customer needs.
New product development is a challenging, complex undertaking that involves critical interdependent activities and considerations, including, but not limited to: marketing, research, development, risk assessment, cost analyses, quality, regulatory compliance, launch preparation, commercialization, cross-functional collaboration, corporate strategy, portfolio management, and resource allocation.
I create the innovation framework that will enable you to translate your ideas into new products and services and get them to market faster, better, and cheaper. With a reliable product development roadmap in place, your organization will quickly and efficiently respond to market trends.
I have worked with many clients to bring their concepts to market. Whether you need consulting support to point your team in the right direction, or complete support from concept to market, I can help with design and development work.
Some of the activities performed are:
- Understand customer needs through literature review, customer interviews, direct observation, competitive analysis, prototype evaluation, and clinical/simulated use studies.
- Translate customer needs into engineering requirements into specific product, packaging and process specifications.
- Engineer robust and manufactural products through application of engineering fundamentals. Prepare product documents, preliminary layouts, drawings, BOM, test reports and cost studies. Run simulation processes optimizing 3D product models.
- Develop and execute test methods which specify measurement equipment, test set-up, measurement systems analysis, and data analysis.
- Write detailed technical reports based on design verification analysis/testing for design changes and product design activities.
- Ensure compliance with quality policies, procedures and practices as well as with all local, state, federal and safety regulations, policies and procedures.
