Product & Process Development

Take what works and make it scale.

Most growing businesses have a good product or a good process that only works because one person knows how. I help turn that into something you can build, repeat, protect, and hand off.

I have done it on production floors for years, and I do it for my own products now.

What I do

From one good part to a repeatable product

  • ✓Take a product idea or prototype to a design a vendor can quote and build at volume
  • ✓Document the process: work instructions, drawings, inspection plans, standards
  • ✓Build templates, CAD automation, and shop tools so the next job is faster than the last
  • ✓Plan automation, fixtures, and layout for the next jump in volume
  • ✓Prepare design records and drawings your patent attorney can work from
  • ✓Find and qualify vendors, including overseas manufacturers, and manage first articles
Who it's for

Good fits

Shop owners with a product ideaYou make parts for other people and want a product of your own. I help you design it, protect it, and build it right.

Manufacturers with tribal knowledgeThe process lives in one person's head. I get it onto paper, into fixtures, and into tools anyone can follow.

Startups with a working prototypeIt works on the bench but cannot be built at volume yet. I close the gap between prototype and production.

How we work together

Start small, then decide

01

Discovery session

A few hours, fixed price. We walk through the product or process and where it breaks down. You get a written plan of what to fix first and what it will cost.

02

Fixed-bid project

For a defined job: a design package, a set of work instructions, a fixture, a vendor qualification.

03

Monthly retainer

For ongoing help: a part-time engineer who knows your product, answers vendor questions, and keeps the documentation current.
