The Product Launch: Preparing for Production

September 15, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Participants Will Learn

Preparing for Production helps our audience prepare for what it takes to move from a great prototype to a mass-producible product. Optimizing your design for manufacturing is critical to the success of the product, especially to build a profitable business. We cover design for manufacturing, product testing, how to work with manufacturers, assembly processes, product documentation, and the manufacturing transfer process.

We answer questions like:

  • I already built a prototype, how do I get it into mass production?
  • How do I know that my product will perform well in the field?
  • Do I need a product testing program?
  • How do I find the right manufacturer for my product?
  • What is Revision Control and why will it save me money?
  • How can I reduce labor costs for my product?
  • How does economy of scale affect the price of my product?
  • Tooling is expensive. How do I preserve my capital?
  • How do I make sure that the manufacturer is producing my product correctly?
  • Should I work with an overseas or US manufacturer?

Who Should Attend :

  • Entrepreneurs
  • Inventors
  • Start-Up companies

Description:

Preparing for Production is the third seminar in our series. Participants can attend one or all webinars to gain valuable information on product design and development.
