Foundation & Feasibility

Setting out on the right path at the beginning of a New Product Development (NPD) project is critical to success.

One of the first crucial steps is to have a clear design specification for the project. Some of our clients have this worked out when they engage with us and some look to us for help to define what the requirements for their product are. Understanding what the specification for a product design project should be requires insight into the market, user requirements, competitor’s offerings and many more issues such as end of life considerations and manufacturing options.

The Foundation and Feasibility phase of our process is where a product design is conceived. We can offer services such as Feasibility Study, Competitor Analysis, Task Analysis and Patent Searching all with the intension of tuning and refining the required specification for the product. Without a clear and appropriate design specification the likelihood of the resulting design being a commercial success is minimal.

Just like when embarking on a building project, poor foundations at the outset of a project will result in a compromised end result.

Sustainability

At the heart of everything we do

It’s said that 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design stage. Due to this the designer has a responsibility to act with as much care and integrity as the client and project brief will allow. At TRIG we always look to minimise the impact a product has on the environment by using tools and techniques such as life cycle analysis and minimal material construction and making clients aware of their role and responsibilities when it come to end of life considerations for a new product.

Materials, manufacture, distribution, use and eventual end of life are all phases where a mass manufactured product leaves a mark on the environment. By careful consideration, utilisation of sustainable practices and education of others involved in the development process this impact can be minimised.

We are proud to support Big Blue Ocean Cleanup to help them tackle the issue of plastic waste pollution in the oceans. Visit bigblueoceancleanup.org for more information.
