In order to become world-class suppliers to the multinational vehicle manufacturers and upper tier suppliers, China's small to medium-sized parts manufacturers must acquire the engineering skills, testing capabilities, research resources, and management support structures that will allow them to develop more reliable products, newer products, and add features and innovations to existing products.

The Product Development Readiness Program can help companies:

  • identify their product development needs;
  • build their design, development, and testing capabilities;
  • and identify and acquire the necessary skills and capabilities for product innovation.

The program is most useful for companies that are in the early stages of becoming "design responsible" as it will assess one's current product development capabilities; benchmark them against industry best practices; and provide customized plans and recommendations needed to acquire product design capabilities.
