This entailed constant competitive awareness through close marketing ties, and frequent design/marketing reviews. This forum allowed the early creation of “ Cut n shut ” prototypes for evaluation by design, patent attorneys and marketeers, for initial feasibility studies. If viable, this allowed further prototyping and resource, to allow a workable project timeline to be established and user research if required. Competitor analysis and user requirements were then formalised into design specifications. The project was then allowed onto the official work scheduling and flowed through from CAD into tooling and finally production. As a Senior Design Engineer, I was involved in the above, as participant and eventually leading the process, to contribute to incremental growth where possible, and overall helping to increase the household portfolio operating income by 200%.
