Engineering consulting

Ways of working

Typical engineering consulting setups

We always strive to tailor a setup that suits our customers' needs - typical setups are divided into three categories: co-creation, task force, and way-of-working.

Co-creataion

Development with our clients to sustain learnings and guarantee robustness

Co-creating teams. RD8 leads product development from a robustness point of view by objective guiding metrics – and supports the client project responsible and team. RD8 can also support CAD modeling and documentation, calculations, and hands-on development. RD8 acts as a player on the team.

Learn by doing

Apply Robust Design know-how to projects. Sparring, coaching, and guidance by RD8. The typical setup for our Talent Development service – applying engineering know-how to actual projects to sustain learnings.

Subject matter expert

We act as subject matter experts on projects as a part of the development team. Taking responsibility for the robustness of the product and communicating the progress by objective Robust Design metrics.

Mechanical lead

Mechanical lead of redesign or new product development projects working together with out clients teams.

Task Force

Robust Design consulting - analysis, redesign, or new product development with minimum involvement from the client side to increase product profit by improving value adding features or reducing cost.

Root cause analysis

Identification of reasons for issues in quality, performance, or cost. Our product review service gives a detailed insight into root causes and potential mitigations alongside industry benchmarks.

Fix it

Problem solving by design improvements. We redesign the geometry of the products by data driven development approach to achieve desired effects. 

A-Z development

Development of new mechanical products, modules or platforms powered by Robust Design.

Way-of-working

Integrate Robust Design to R&D to increase product profit by increasing time-to-quality, engineering efficiency or enhancing features.

Talent development

Upskilling of engineering competencies by talent development programs.

Workflows

Implementation of Robust Design workflows and processes: roles, meeting structure, formats, timing.

Engineering toolbox

Implementation of the Robust Design toolbox to the R&D department.

Visual management

Implementation of Robust Design metrics for transparency and data-driven decision making during product development. Project boards & dashboards.

Development processes

Integration of Robust Design practices (robust engineering system) to existing NPD/NPI (new product development/new product introduction) processes, stage gate models, or agile processes.

Value engineering data link

Link of data (production, cost, customer feedback, …) to products to establish relationship between product performance and product design. Establishment of the ideal foundation for next level value engineering.
