Product development
This can take place in the following stages:
- Idea – To establish whether regulations and other requirements will have a major impact on the cost and timeline for developing the product concerned.
- Design – The design stage is when the features of the product are determined and when guidance on applicable conditions regarding product safety, etc, is most essential.
- Prototype – The first draft model of the product, where its basic characteristics can be tested and evaluated.
- Preproduction – As a result of production trials, certain characteristics of the product may have to be adjusted and reconsidered.
- Production – During production, evaluation of alternative sourced components is important for ensuring consistent product safety.
