New Product Design & Development
Capabilities |

|
Elite Electronics' Product Design &
Development Team offers its customers a full-range of product
development services from ergonomic studies to industrial design
to prototype development to production tooling and manufacturing
fulfillment. |
|||
|
Our Design & Development Team carefully
reviews each Customer request for assistance.
Upon completion of the
initial project review, if the scope of the Customer’s request
is within our capabilities, Elite’s designated Project Manager
schedules a meeting with the Customer’s Project Manager and/or
Design Team to discuss their needs in greater detail.
The purpose of this preliminary meeting is to define the
Customer’s product expectations, near- and long-term objectives,
as well as, delivery requirements.
|
|||
|
If the meeting results in a mutual
understanding to move on to the proposal stage, Elite’s Product
Design & Development Team will prepare a comprehensive proposal
that clearly defines the work to be completed, delivery
time-lines and detailed project cost estimates.
Should the proposal result in a Customer purchase order
for Elite’s Design & Development Services, Elite will begin work
on the project once it has received the Customer’s written
confirmation of the mutually agreed upon work product
deliverables and the Customer’s acceptance criteria. |
