Selecting the Right Project
Our technical team reviews three critical areas to make sure you maximize your ROI; the right product line, the right product family and the right scope.
Our Project Definition Services cover:
- Reviewing the existing issues to understand what can be addressed quickly
- Understanding which approach will work best to address the current issue
- Assessing the existing environment for readiness to change
- Calculating the return-on-investment for new product lines
Evaluating Existing vs. New Lines of Business
- Identifying the most important needs of the end customer
- Defining the product families by manufacturing flow, not attributes
- Determining where there is a clear lack of commonality between families
- Targeting a single component and a single family to stay focused
Selecting the Best Product Family
- Narrowing the scope to ensure easy, early success
- Developing trust between all parties to avoid stalls
- Creating a mechanism for sharing cost savings
- Starting as close to the customer to gain the most benefit
