Challenges:

1.Designing and developing 14 completely new products  

2.Creating prototypes for exhibition purposes  

3.Tight timeline for meeting sales deadlines after 6 months  

 

Lean solutions: 

  1. 1.Identify the Right Manufacturer:
  2. Partner with a manufacturer that has an established, professional R&D team capable of developing detailed design drawings from initial concepts.  

 

2. Parallel Prototyping & Molding:

Initiate prototyping and the initial stages of the molding process simultaneously to shorten the product development timeline.  

 

3. Tooling Process Monitoring:

Oversee the tooling process closely to ensure the production of high-quality, off-tool samples that meet the required standards.  

 

4. Pilot Run Distribution:

Distribute small quantities from the pilot run for customer to use in retail store presentation meetings, gaining early feedback and generating exposure at exhibition. 

 

5. Quality Control in Mass Production:

Implement stringent quality control measures during mass production to maintain consistency and meet product standards.
