Developing and/or Introducing New Products
Simon Ruffley
Business Development Manager
Froude Hofmann (formerly Froude Consine)
The Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) is able to support companies in this endeavour by helping them to utilise new manufacturing techniques and support them through the experience of teething problems and difficulties. The MAS advisors also know that if a new manufacturing facility is to be successful it is essential that the operation of this facility will be part of keeping costs down and satisfying customers.
MAS advisors are able to assist in contacting the best people possible to assist with development of existing products or formulating new products. They are able to assist with the identification of gaps in the market and where advances in technology coupled with challenging customer demands can produce a need for new products to update a product range.
They are also aware that the development of new systems could be time-consuming, heavily reliant upon internal and external R&D expertise and extremely expensive. In this regard MAS is able to assist companies to access grants through various programmes which could contribute towards the larger development costs. They are also able to offer support to develop products to ensure that they are certified to meet regulatory standards.
MAS advisors can assist manufacturers in creating prototypes of their ideas, introduce third parties who can help with the production of an improved design and generally enhance the innovative concept of the product and where necessary identify companies that can manufacture high quality prototypes to move the development forward.
