1. Challenge in product development

Developing a new product presents a challenge when it comes to engaging diverse teams at the appropriate stages. Whether it’s marketing, design, engineering, or manufacturing, even seasoned project managers may struggle to efficiently coordinate these teams throughout the product development process.

Each team brings unique expertise and perspectives that are necessary for a well-rounded product development process. The role of an experienced project manager is indeed essential in coordinating these teams effectively.

 

2. Modification in the production process

 Once the design and tooling stages are complete, the components proceed to the manufacturing and assembly line. During the pilot run, it is common to identify necessary modifications in the production process. However, if the design is nearly finalized at this point, making these modifications can either prolong the original timeline of product development or become practically impossible. In such cases, customers are faced with a choice: they can either accept the revised timeline for product completion or settle for components that may not reach their full potential.

 

3. Occurrence of modifications

The following components generally require modification:

• Complex components that are prone to causing defects during the assembly line process.
• Components that lead to time-consuming assembly stations and increased labor costs.
