After completing the laboratory assay and a proof-of-concept prototype, the next step toward bringing your product to market is to design a device that meets all requirements ranging from usability and manufacturability, to cost-per-unit and shelf-life. (A free Product Requirements Document (PRD) template will be provided to all attendees.) This presentation will outline certain best practices in product development including project planning and timelines, defining requirements in engineering terms, fabricating working rapid prototypes, obtaining prototype injection molded parts, low-cost manufacturing processes, design-for-assembly, and selecting a contract manufacturer. In addition, a key, often-overlooked development technique will be covered: Risk Function Development (RFD). The RFD process focuses on the functions of your device that are most likely to require multiple iterations to achieve, and therefore present a relatively greater risk to the project schedule and budget. These and other key steps will be presented that substantially mitigate the risks of schedule delays and cost overruns during product development.
