What is Order-Based Product Development?
The Order-Based Product Development process involves coordination between customers, product development staff, engineering/design team members and production floor employees to configure and produce customized orders for clients. Customized orders deviate from standard specifications in certain ways, and thus require additional engineering, design and manufacturing time to fulfill. After the order has been received by the customer, the product development and engineering/design teams develop product specifications for the customized item. Those specifications are passed off to manufacturing team members, who then produce a prototype of the product. After the prototype has been tested and approved, it is ready for final production and shipment to the customer.
