Feasibility study

A feasibility study enables you to save time and money by

Quickly identifying if the product idea will work
Identifying costs for the following stages
Defining a clear plan to deliver the product


Prior to product design it is often necessary to prove that a concept will work. There may be critical items that are required for the full function of the product which are unknown or untested. A feasibility study sets out to verify the critical factors in the product design and prove that these are achievable. The verification may just confirm that the required outcome is possible. The work may further determine that is it is possible at the required price point to ensure market viability. The following are examples of the potential work undertaken in a feasibility study:

Identification of product and regulatory requirements
Testing the function properties of materials and components to be used
Identification of electronic components and proof of their function to specification
Identification of manufacturing processes to be used
Costing exercise for key components
Costing for the product development cycle

Skills sets that may be used: Design and Engineering, Materials analysis, Production engineering, Commercial Negotiation , Quality process audit


Design stage

Tianyi can deliver the best product design solution because:

We have talented staff and a culture designed for innovative product design
We have a wide variety of engineering skills to cover all areas
Our product design process is designed to leverage your skills and knowledge
Unlike a solely design focused company our manufacturing experience means that we deliver cost effective and realistic designs
Unlike solely design focused companies our designs will be ready for manufacture and provide exact costs for tooling and manufacture at the end of the design process

We reduce your risk as we:

Take full responsibility for the product from development to delivered product
Will solve all issues that may occur as we have a wide variety of engineering skills available to cover all product development areas

At the beginning of the design stage we develop an Objectives and Requirement Specification document. This is prepared by Tianyi and reviewed, discussed and edited with the customer. The purpose of the document is to fully define what is required from the product development. Once this is agreed and signed off the project plan can be drawn up and the correct resources allocated to the project. A list of deliverables and acceptance criteria can also be defined.

A project coordinator oversees the development process and co-ordinates both Tianyi and the customers inputs. Sub-contract product development is a collaborative process so there needs to be a dialogue between Tianyi and the customer. Importantly the customer needs to provide input at key stages.

A change control process will be used to manage any variation to the specification that may occur during the project.

Depending upon the project there may be one or several delivery stages. At each of these the customer will sign-off to confirm that the deliverable has been accepted and the project is on course. During the design stage functional or early prototypes may be produced. These are very useful in testing design assumptions and informing the design process.

3D CAD modeling also allows us to review detailed and realistic models of the product and review changes that may be required.

Once the design is complete then the prototype stage can begin. The Testing and prototype stage may then result in further design work.

The range of skill-sets available in our full service set means that the design and engineering team can work at the earliest stage with quality and production staff responsible for future production. This leads to a much more certain outcome and a more tightly focused project plan.

Skill-sets that may be used: Electronic engineering, Software/firmware developer, Mechanical engineering, Materials engineer , Industrial design, Production engineer, Project management.
