Extending the Life of Your Products

Through our Product Stewardship offering, we assume the management of our customers’ mature product lines, so your prime engineering resources can focus on next generation products and new technologies. We understand that the financial model of our OEM customers requires products to be kept in the field throughout the product’s life cycle, with a constant need for cost reduction and technology upgrades to stay competitive. Our mature global delivery model for steady-state execution leads to significant initial and ongoing cost savings. By applying design concepts such as Design for Manufacturability and Lean Six Sigma, we lower your overall product costs.

To manage end-of-life issues for mature product lines, we use technology and material upgrades, product refreshes and design updates to revise product, process and test specifications. Applying functional product design services and Lean Six Sigma lowers overall product costs. The resulting extended product life cycles satisfy existing end-customer need for extending product availability and the market life of your mature products.
