Process


The Roman god Janus was said to have a clear vision of the future while at the same time having an unobstructed view of the past. At PDI we strive to embrace this concept. We never lose sight of the lessons taught by the legends of industrial design: Raymond Loewy's MAYA concept (Most Advanced Yet Acceptable) or Brooks Stevens commitment to satisfy the demands of function, style, materials and cost.

With these values as our foundation, we continue to strive for innovation and technical advancement. Our mission is "Solutions through Design Innovations". In essence, you pose the problem and we supply unique, innovative, cost-effective solutions.

Our process is based on a collaborative relationship with our clients and includes research, design, consideration of human and interface factors and full manufacturing support.

We use a four-step process that is the essence of simplicity: Research, Design, Development and Implementation.



Research
  • Define problems and opportunities
  • Establish criteria and objectives
  • Consideration of client culture and environment
  • Manufacturing implementation

Design
  • Product benchmarks and task analysis
  • Conceptual design solutions
  • Interface/interaction evaluation
  • Materials and manufacturing feasibility
  • Validate results

Development
  • Evaluate preliminary design concepts
  • Select and refine most promising
  • Models, prototypes and mock ups
  • Materials and process system testing
  • Tooling and parts requirements

Implementation
  • Testing and roll-out
  • Sourcing
  • Troubleshooting
  • Manufacturing analysis
  • Vendor and ramp-up support
  • Production quality certification

At PDI, we believe that the ultimate solution is produced as a result of careful design and precision manufacturing.
