Product Development Planner

iCollaboration's Product Development Planner accelerates time-to-market for new products by optimizing all phases of pre-manufacturing — including concept, design, development, prototype, test and quality assurance. It synchronizes, schedules and sequences thousands of complex, interrelated product development activities, minimizing inefficiencies, cost overruns, and missed deadlines. With Product Development Planner, multiple design engineering teams can work efficiently on a global basis to meet target milestones for project completion.

Product Development Planner is built for speed and complexity. It quickly generates detailed plans based on the constraints of both equipment and manpower — including the various skill levels, areas of specialization, cross-dependencies, and current commitments of project team members. When unforeseen events occur, Product Development Planner re-plans on the fly and automatically communicates the impact of changes on areas such as manufacturing, sales and marketing. Product Development Planner also provides powerful "what-if" analysis capabilities for shrinking design-to-production and slashing development costs. The result is an efficient, cost-effective pipeline for product design and development and a timelier hand-off to manufacturing.
