Concept Refinement PhaseWhat Should the Product Be?In the concept refinement phase, the customer and project team explore specific concepts in greater depth to decide what the product should be. Based on content from the initial concept study, designers perform critical checks between the customer requirements, product architecture and implementation plans.Concept Refinement DeliverablesFinal product specificationPreliminary bill of materialsDevelopment costs and scheduleSupply chain and logistics planInitial test, QA and production plansResource assessmentIndustrial designers work to synthesize known data to generate and refine product concept alternatives.Proof-of-concept models are developed using foam models and 3-D images.Electrical and mechanical engineers define final product architecture, develop the specifications and layout placement and generate bill of materials. The supply chain is analyzed to ensure that components selected have a stable, known supply source and are cost competitive.And, with Topscom manufacturing, our engineers ensure that the conceptual design can be implemented in manufacturing. They assess resources required and start planning for the production process, as required, including advanced process technology, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), test, logistics, and supply chain??
