Product analysis
As the saying goes, two heads are better than
one. To look at a product and analyse it seems an easy task,
yet checking it closely to obtain the information needed to
approve it, to improve it before its release, or plan future
improvements for later releases is a more complex matter.
A product might have design or manufacturing errors, but may
also have concept errors. This is why analysing it prior to
its manufacture is a must, or even if it is too late for that,
analysing it before its release could save you from having
many problems or even have to do a recall and have the clients
return their flawed product. In some cases these flaws are
little things, in other cases they can have serious
consequences for the clients. Therefore we believe that
analysing the product, preferably at every stage of its
development and before it is manufactured is mandatory, apart
from showing the professionalism of your company and
confirming that quality is important for you.
Bear in mind that investing some money in an early stage can
offer you immensely useful information. Also, consider that if
this analysis is performed by an external company it won’t be
biased. Then you can decide what to do with the information,
and apply changes or improvements on the product if they are
necessary. An additional opinion from qualified experts will
allow you to know the strengths of your product
specifications, and even a comparison with other similar
products from the competition. This way you will know if you
are offering the market something remarkable or if you are
just one more. As you know your competitors are not sleeping
while you develop a product and it is likely that they have
their own concept models on their desks, and probably some
confidential information about the product they intend to
launch next.
Industrial espionage? Well, if nobody went into their design
departments and no files were stolen, the information was
probably released –with or without permission- by an employee.
Be careful, as often companies try to generate interest by
posting online some ‘Spy’ images or files but end up showing
too much. If your marketing department suggests releasing
information of a product in development, do not give in and
give clear instructions to your employees to avoid these
absurd practices. This way you will save the surprise factor
for when you present your product and avoid bad surprises with
copies and/or patent filing. Your competitors will analyse
every detail of your products, even from an image innocently
shared in opinion forums.
We analyse your products to find flaws of different sorts and
report the information to the corresponding departments.
We analyse products of the competitors and compare them to the
products of your company.
We propose improvements or solutions, we offer fundamental
information for a future update.
We plan a course of action to introduce all this information
without altering the process. Being an external company, the
information will not be biased by any of your departments.
