A poorly conceived industrialisation process spells certain disaster within a few months, even if your product is a commercial success!<br \/>\nYou will struggle to produce and deliver, and while you burn through your energy and cash trying to produce quality, you will frustrate your sales teams and your customers, who will have to wait to benefit from the promised offer.<br \/>\nA methodical and rigorous industrialisation process avoids these pitfalls. It should be planned as soon as the proof of concept is validated and ends when production becomes routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A well-managed industrialisation process begins with three key workstreams:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Assess the full scope of requirements without overlooking regulatory constraints.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nHowever simple an industrial product may be, it must comply with European standards and regulations in order to be <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marquage_CE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CE certified<\/a>. European directives are complex and increasingly demanding.<br \/>\nIf you intend to market your product outside the CE zone, find out about local regulations. Technical standards are generally unified, but acceptance thresholds differ from one region to another.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Choose an industrial scenario in line with your ambition and the skills at your disposal.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nIf your expertise lies in product design but not in manufacturing, it is better to consider outsourcing production from the outset. Some partners can even manage the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/sxe-consulting.com\/en\/supply-chain\/\">supply chain<\/a> for you.<br \/>\nAnd be clear early on about the fundamentals: production capacity, production batch sizes and seasonality of demand.<br \/>\nAlso take care not to become too dependent on your subcontractor; it is important to plan for alternative suppliers from the outset.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do not hesitate to go through simulation and prototyping phases.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nLate modifications are the most costly. They will be all the easier to absorb if you have built a climate of trust with your partners.<br \/>\nOnce these workstreams are complete, you will still need to succeed in ramping up and moving to series production.<br \/>\nRemember to manage risks to minimise setbacks throughout development. Experience has taught me that Murphy's law always applies: anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concevoir un produit facile \u00e0 fabriquer pour un co\u00fbt minimum est un exercice d\u00e9licat.
