Invariably we are asked the same question when approached by new clients �
Is what I am looking to do viable?

In order to answer this question we have implemented a four step system that allows us to identify at an early stage whether a project is worth continuing or not. This keeps our clients costs to a minimum and highlights where more homework should be undertaken before proceeding to manufacture.

1. Initial Feasibility Study

In order to provide clients with a solution tailored to their specific
needs, we undertake a feasibility study for the entire project.
This focuses on:

� Initial planning

� Timing analysis

� Quotation

� Implementation

2. In-Depth Review

If the initial feasibility study yields positive results such that proceeding further is warranted, we then undertake an in-depth investigation that includes reviewing the following:

� Product manufacturability
� Documentation status
� Bills of Material
� Testability � incorporating PCB jigs and fixtures
� Unique parts or materials
� Environmentally fit for purpose � RoHS and WEEE
� Test documentation
� Heat soak and application loads � security, bank key loading
� Specialised test equipment
� Packaging requirements
� Shipping requirements and pallets
� Component and test equipment
� Factory and product / component risk management
� Current / existing production tooling
� Suitability of moving Australian tooling offshore
� Dual sourcing � alternate sourcing

� Manufactured cost targets
