MARKET ASSESSMENT:

Is the idea marketable? What is the size of the market? What is the competition like? What is the current market price? What market restraints are there? How does our client want to be marketed?

Excalibur Engineering Services' product development process is the key to the success we have and in aligning ourselves with other companies. Our product development approach, and the steps we take, begins with analyzing our client's product concepts, objectives, and requirements. Brainstorming sessions between our client's marketing and engineering personnel clarify issues of product feasibility. A preliminary engineering or market study may be conducted to define the direction that is needed. And market constraints such as approval processes are well thought out prior to the products definition stage.

PRODUCT DEFINITION:

Brainstorming. Feasibility studies. Software studies. Documentation of design concepts. Timelines, graphs, charts. Material selection. Complete management package.

A development game plan is initiated in this step to provide efficient utilization of resources, effective control of costs, and maintenance of milestones and schedules. Often this plan is submitted to management for approval of the entire development, or used to gain venture capital funds. This step is extremely important to the development process because many times a good idea goes undeveloped due to a lack of time or resources. We offer our clients clearly defined objectives, product specifications, and a well thought out product development plan.

WE can work with our client's in-house personnel for F.M.E.A.'s, F.D.A., U.L., T.U.V., C.S.A., I.S.O., A.A.M.I., I.E.C 601, F.C.C., and I.E.E.E. standards.

SUPPORT SERVICE:

Assembly, test, and manufacturing procedures verified. Meet cost and quality objectives. Parts procurement.

The final two steps include pilot production and manufacturing. Excalibur Engineering Services utilized knowledge gained from the prototype evaluations, to optimize the manufacturing process. This offers our clients a smooth integration during the limited-quantity build of first production units. Pilot production is the first volume run of the finished product. Documented assemble, test, and manufacturing procedures are verified and refined to enable the product to meet cost and quality objectives. The results of this pilot production run provide the client with a tested product and a proved manufacturing process.
