How to carry out the development of the first business?
Generally speaking, the development of the first business requires the full cooperation of the R&D team and the procurement team to evaluate the first business from the aspects of technology, cost, quality, delivery and service. The technical team is responsible for evaluating the technical design, reliability, and engineering level of the productThe purchasing team is responsible for cost analysis, lead times, large-scale production capacity assessment, logistics chain design, commercial risk assessment (mainly financial risks), etc.
First of all,Developers should first have a detailed understanding of their product design and requirements, such as the basic cost of the product, design requirements, functions, scope of use and use, project cycle, quantity and approximate R & D schedule, the main responsible technical supervisor, etc., only by understanding their own product information can it be possible to find a suitable match of high-quality suppliers. Otherwise, commercial development will become inefficient, procrastinating, and even full of commercial risks.
Secondly,Through the Internet, professional books, exhibitions, competitors, customers and other channels to fully investigate the information of potential businessmen.
