The essence of any Product Development System can be summarized by the following elements

•  Translating customer wants into product features and engineering specifications
•  Project management and quality assurance
•  Assessing and mitigating risk
•  Determining concept feasibility and developing an affordable business structure

Where ASG differs from many of our competitors is in the recognition that the manufacturing process can only be as good as the designs it is attempting to produce.  Therefore, ASG also offers a comprehensive array of Product Development Services based upon Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) which focus on the need for concurrent Product and Process development in order to achieve optimum Product Creation System performance. APQP, DFSS, and some of the related tools and techniques associated with these methods (which become the 'key enablers' for Product Creation Optimization) that ASG can provide include:

•  Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
•  Benchmarking
•  Risk Assessment and Mitigation (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis)
•  Design For (Six Sigma, Manufacturing, Assembly, Service, Reusability, Recycleability, etc.)
•  Process Risk Assessment (Process FMEA)
•  Control Plans
•  Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
•  Process Capability Studies
•  Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
•  Statistical Process Control (SPC)
