Prototyping
Objectives: To reduce you costs of production and Time to Market
For prototype means the first element of a series. The prototype can perform different functions within the product development cycle: the design is used to test an idea, for marketing can be used to test the market response to a new proposal for the production and can be used to test a manufacturing cycle. Ultimately the functions of the prototype are thus functional verification, assessment of costs, the cost evaluation, the evaluation of flow times and the response of the market.
