Adrian and Renaud discuss how to plan for the handover of your innovative new product to manufacturing (with a focus on hard goods with mechanical elements and some electronic/electrical parts). Product handover should be a structured process of actions taken mainly before the manufacturer gets involved to ensure a smooth transition from you to them so the product ends up being made to your specifications and requirements and the risks of issues before product launch are minimized.
You'll learn:
- What a product handover is.
- The drawbacks of not following a structured process and how not to hand over.
- What the best practices for handover are so you can follow them to streamline your next project.
