As your product matures it will loose its competitive edge, and unless a frequent product review process is implemented, it will not be easy to regain your market position.

Our Product Healthcheck service provides a full and confidential design audit aimed at improving the usability, performance, producibility, desirability, profitability and differentiation of your existing product. More specifically, it will help you:

• Identify gaps or opportunities in your product range.
• Identify and implement latent intellectual property.
• Regain novelty and secure new intellectual property.
• Incorporate new technology, materials and processes.
• Comply with new or anticipated product standards.
• Replace obsolete, problem or expensive components.
• Reduce costs to compete on price or regain lost margin.
• Meet new product design styles, trends and fashions.
• Improve quality, performance, reliability and usability.
• Improve manufacturability or disassembly for recycling.
• Migrate designs from lower to higher volume manufacture.
• Modify designs for lower cost Chinese production methods.
• Source or setup alternative supplier base in China.

The Product Healthcheck can be done either on or off-site, and will require full access to your product. A written report is then prepared outlining our key recommendations for improvement or action.

Many local companies are already benefiting from our practical product development advice and support. Best of all they’re finding that by using design, they no longer need to compete solely on price.
