ODM Product Development

ODM Product Development

How it runs

Five steps
01
Requirement

Intended use, target price and the failure the current product has. A target price is a design constraint, not a negotiation position.

02
Concept

We match the requirement against factory processes and propose one or two routes rather than a wish list.

03
Sample review

Performance, standard compliance and cost are reviewed on a physical sample.

04
Pilot batch

A small run goes to real users so feedback arrives before tooling is amortised.

05
Iterate or stop

Either the product earns a second batch or it stops. Continuing a product nobody reorders is the expensive option.

Who does what

What we need from youIntended use, the market it sells into, target landed cost and any standard it must meet.
What we bringFactory shortlisting, process fit, sample coordination and the cost breakdown by process step.
What is agreed firstDevelopment fee, tooling investment, design rights and who owns new results. In writing, before work starts.

Development is quoted separately from production. We will tell you when a requirement is not manufacturable at the target price instead of quoting anyway.

A drawing is the fastest way to a real price.

Send it with the quantity and the date you need it. We come back with a price, a lead time and any question the drawing raised.
