Management

If you're a start-up hardware company, an engineering product or design firm or an established OEM with an innovative new product, starting right is the key to launch success. And now more than ever, starting right means starting domestically. Early in the product life cycle is where all proof of concept and manufacturing should occur. At this stage it's all about reducing risk by laying bare all possible design, engineering, manufacturing and supply challenges and at the same time maximizing efficiencies. As many start-ups and emerging companies have discovered, language barriers, cultural differences and time zone constraints make this complex refinement nearly impossible. As the product life cycle matures there will be plenty of time to explore the cost benefits of overseas production. In fact, we advocate it. But at this stage, having a reliable partner that can assist with quality engineering and production foresight rule the day.
