Manufacturing supervision

Here we prepare the product for full-scale production. We comprehensively transition from the prototyping phase to the product technological readiness during which technical documentation, lists of components/materials and manufacturing technologies are created. Designing a product with consideration to mass production requires specialist engineering and material competences, as well as knowledge of a wide range of manufacturing technologies and their limitations.

Scope of work

Manufacturing supervision is a critical aspect of industrial design, ensuring that the transition from concept to reality is seamless and high-quality. It involves a series of essential steps:

Choice of Manufacturing Technology
Selecting the right manufacturing technology is crucial for achieving the desired product quality, cost efficiency, and production speed.

Searching for Subcontractors and Suppliers
Identifying reliable subcontractors and suppliers is vital to ensure the availability of high-quality materials and components.

Production Facility Inspection and Supervision
Regular inspections and oversight of production facilities help ensure that manufacturing processes meet design specifications and safety standards.

Indication of Preferred Contractors
Recommending trusted contractors ensures that the production process aligns with the designer's quality expectations.

Making Enquiries, Offer Collection, and Comparison
Gathering and comparing offers from various suppliers and manufacturers ensures cost-effectiveness without compromising quality.

Manufacturing Process Management
Overseeing the entire manufacturing process guarantees that production stays on track, from initial setup to final output.

Quality Control of Manufactured Components
Rigorous quality checks are performed on all manufactured components to ensure they meet the required standards and specifications.

Supervision of Product Assembly
Ensuring that assembly processes are correctly followed ensures that the final product functions as intended and meets safety requirements.

By actively supervising these aspects, industrial designers ensure that every product not only looks great but is also manufactured to the highest standards of quality and safety. This hands-on approach from concept through to final assembly is what guarantees the success of a product in the market.
