Why Second Opinion Design Review is Fine - GID Company
17 Feb 2016

A second opinion design review can provide invaluable insights before starting new product development. Discover why seeking this additional perspective can enhance your product’s design and overall success.

New product development being a complex and critical process, it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion product design review before you opt for product development. Whether you are looking forward to develop products with electronics, electro-mechanical products, products with embedded software, medical device products or anything else, a second review certainly helps you save your time and money.

The GID Development Corporation shares with you some of the reasons a second opinion is a smart move when it comes to custom / new product development.

Big Brands Always Get Second Opinions on Product Development:

It’s a universal fact that a new product hitting the shelves undergoes reviews by numerous engineers and multiple quality checks. To avoid manufacturing complications, big brands ensure that all engineers receive several second opinion design reviews from other designers.

In the product design and development industry, second opinions are termed as design reviews. To ensure a fruitful second review, design engineers are required to present their new product design to other designers. This step certainly helps the designer to identify minor design issues that could lead to a major error.

Another reason why large companies emphasize on the second opinion design reviews is because electronic products, products with embedded software and other modern day products are complex in nature, and regardless to the engineer, mistakes are almost made when designing anything complex. Therefore, it is in our favor to take every possible step to minimize the risk of design mistakes.

Second Opinions Will Reduce Your Prototyping Costs

Product prototype development is yet another expensive step involved in the process of new product development; therefore, being a responsible entrepreneur / inventor, we need to make sure that the design is accurate before prototyping.

Most product manufacturing companies prefer at least three revisions to get products ready for market; however, the number and severity of the changes required will be considerably decreased with design reviews. A second opinion design review before prototype development is one of the best ways to reduce manufacturing cost and time.

Your Wireless Design is Likely to Be Junk Without a Second Opinion

Manufacturing wireless products like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS is a job of high precision, and unfortunately, 75-85% of engineers get it wrong when it comes to designing wireless parts. Some mistakes are so major that the prototype may not work at all or may function in a very limited fashion.

Designing multifaceted products with embedded software, electro-mechanical, or electronic parts differs significantly from ordinary products. Therefore, if you’re planning a product with multiple functionalities, a second opinion design review is highly recommended.

To Conclude

The advantages of second opinion design reviews carry over into all the aspects of designing and manufacturing a new product. The opinion of multiple design veterans is always a smart move.

When it comes to new product development, seeking a second opinion design review from a seasoned product development company with experienced engineers across various fields is a smart strategy. This approach ensures that you benefit from diverse expertise and thorough evaluations, enhancing the overall quality of your product.
