Design Reviews
Design Reviews are typically held in the beginning-to-middle of a development
project, to insure the successful completion/outcome of a project. We strongly
recommend an outside design review (such as the service provided here) to any
OEM engaged in the development of a new packaging machine.

Two types of reviews are most commom:
- Pre-Authorization Review, to establish the viability of a project before
authorizing it.

- Pre-Release Design Review, to review the validity of the proposed design,
before too much effort is expended building a potentially-unworkable design

The design review follows a pre-establish checklist. Depending upon the status
of the design project, this will included:
- A review of the marketing goals
- A review of the design objectives
- A matching of the design objectives with the marketing goals
- A review of the projected reliability of the design
- An analysis of the actual engineering design and drawings
- A review of the proposed schedule
- A review of the projected costs (both per-unit and project)
- An analysis of the design specification
- Calculation of the projected Internal Rate of Return
- Comments, tips, suggestions, and other experience-based insight

Rate
In most cases, a design review can be done in one day for a fixed fee, with
packages ranging from $2500 + expenses, which includes a prior full review of
the design, on site visit(s), and a complete report with analysis and
recommendations.

How to Set it Up
To set up a Design Review, contact William Howard at (770) 331-2283, to
arrange for a mutually acceptable date.

In most cases, a Design Review can be set up in as little as one week. However,
if it is important to hold it on a specific date, it is advisable to give as much notice
as possible.
