 Products for the market - consistent with economic production 

 
The demands and requests of the markets primarily impact the development of a new product. However for the economic success, material and manufacturing costs are equally important.

   In many segments of the industry the product range is characterized by an increasing number of models and a growing variety of product variants. This development is intended solely for the customer´s interest. However, very frequently, when designing new products, insufficient attention is paid to the use of already existing components and design principles.

The result is a steady increase in product variety which drastically pushes up manufacturing costs. To counter this development, we can rely on a comprehensive expertise in the fields of marketing, design and manufacturing.

In product engineering we ascertain the standardization degree of your products, analyse the primary variant producing elements and demonstrate their impact on maufacturing complexity.

Based on this information, we develop together with you clear rules for the design. These standards reduce design principles and processing characteristics, simplify the manufacturing process and lower manufacturing and organizational costs.

Especially with furniture, sales prices and manufacturing costs are central issues today. In the product design consultancy sector we create exceptional furniture which due to their well-conceived design can be produced cost-efficiently. We know the design trends, currently used materials and are familiar with state-of-the-art furniture production and efficient manufacturing methods.

Your benefit:

 
  • Increased efficiency in production
  • Simplified production processes
  • Shorter lead times
  • Reduction of inventory
  • Reduction of production costs
  • Higher product variety through better possibilities of combination
