Collaborative Product Design
CPD describes a combination of processes, organizations and technologies that allow engineers and designers to work together to communicate and share information, regardless of location, to create products and achieve aggressive business goals. Our methodology focuses on the analysis, design, and implementation of these processes around the product development process in a company, across multiple design teams (some being geographically dispersed), and over the entire product lifetime. A lot of this is information technology focused, and the majority is about the organization structure and the development of the governance of the innovation process across multiple enterprises. Some of the tools we use as part of the Collaborative Product Design methodology include:

Stage Gate Innovation
Stage Gate Innovation Optimization is the creation and management of the innovation process from the original voice of the customer to the end of life of a product, as well as the implementation of standardization of the decision making and approval processes across the enterprise and multiple design entities.

Electronic Design Automation
Electronic Design Automation is the optimization of the design process around electronics and integrated chip design… particularly System-on-a-Chip (SOC) using EDA tools, and the management of the design process using such tools.

High-Tech Advisory Services
High Technology Advisory Services begin with the assessment of new technologies in selected fields with respect to the potential of the technology and the processes. BLMC brings Leading Edge Technologists into these assessments to help evaluate the potential and worth of new technologies.
