A new way to source the benefits and flexibility of an in house engineering design team without the overheads. Engineering on Demand is a 'Data plan' for your product development. For a monthly fee accrue hours to be used 'on demand' for your design and engineering needs.
2. Flexibility: The advantage of in house engineering
and product development
Ideas
Actions
Results
Continuous flow of ideas fuelling actions
leading to results and new ideas, new
actions, better results.
3. In House Engineering is Expensive.
• To compete requires a high level of costly technical
resources;
• Expertise
• Computer hardware
• CAE software
• Downtime during project phases can be significant
• Downtime between product development cycles
even worse.
4. In house engineering is a high cost overhead

Project DemandVs Engineering Cost
Demand High Cost
High maintenance cost of in house engineering is a loss during low demand periods.
5. The traditional contract engineering model is engineering in a ‘BOX’
Traditional solution is to contract out
projects during high demand
Without an in house resource companies are
compelled to hire external resource.
6. Phase 1
•Identify Project Need
•Concept frozen at start
•Project Specification Definition
Phase 2
•The size and shape of the ‘BOX’ is fixed.
•Project tender; the cost of the ‘BOX’ is fixed.
•Initial Studies; ideas constrained to fit the ‘BOX’
Phase 3
• Product Development inside the ‘BOX’
• The ‘BOX’ gets delivered, let’s hope it fits.
Engineering in a ‘BOX’
Development inside the ‘BOX’ is inflexible and unreactive to change
7. How do we get out of the ‘BOX’ and get
flexibility cost effectively?
Think phone plan flexibility; buy time and use it for SMS or calls or data services etc.
