Innovative Solutions for Commodity Specific Manufacturing

Introduction
• How valuable is supplier input when it comes to minimizing design cost, cost
effective materials and cost efficient processing for your new product?

• Early Supplier Developmental Input (ESDI) is a 2nd set of eyes at the front end of
the NPI process that can lead to major producibility and procurement
advantages.

• Cortec has an ESDI Program that will provide critical risk assessment as it
pertains to the manufacturing of your new product. DFX; DFP, DFM & DFT
observations on everything from Raw Material, Outside Services, Procured
Components, Logistics, Packaging and Shipping.

• Real-time consultation on the Quality Output of materials when processed
through our manufacturing facility.

• By providing input on materials that work best with a specific child prototype or
electromechanical parent design, those contributions prevent potential problems
during manufacturing. By identifying these issues in advance, you're more likely
to experience a smooth product realization process once your new product has
been launched.
