Right First Time: The successful new product development, on-time and on-budget, requires the detailed co-ordination of resources spanning almost every department in the organisation. Achieving this co-ordination is difficult enough in single site, single product companies. In multi-national organisations, with centres of excellence separated by language, time zone and distance, it can appear impossible. We help our clients achieve Right First Time new product development by implementing comprehensive Phase Gate processes. These co-ordinate and synchronise the resources required at each stage of the NPI programme. Phase Gate methodology ensures that the right decisions are made in the right order by the right people from initial product specification through to final launch – and that each key decision receives appropriate scrutiny and sign-off.
