Concept Design

 

The product concept design phase is a critical juncture where an initial idea is transformed into a viable product concept. This stage begins with thorough brainstorming and ideation sessions, during which multiple concepts are generated. To ensure a structured evaluation, tools like weighted decision matrices are employed to assess each concept against various criteria, including manufacturability, cost, and market impact. Additionally, the House of Quality method, part of Quality Function Deployment (QFD), is used to translate customer requirements into specific engineering characteristics. These tools help identify the most promising concept that meets both market demands and technical feasibility.

 

We bring expert guidance and advanced methodologies to the concept development process. We facilitate effective brainstorming sessions and use structured tools like weighted decision matrices to evaluate and prioritize concepts. We ensure that customer needs are systematically translated into actionable design specifications. By conducting thorough market analysis and feasibility studies, we work with you to ensure the selected concept is both innovative and practical. Our expertise helps businesses navigate the complexities of concept development, resulting in a well-defined and market-validated product concept ready for detailed design and further development.
