Product Lifecycle Management

We use a strategic approach in our product lifecycle management services. Nortech coordinates communication and resources between concept and design, product launch, inventory planning and post market support and product closeout. Our team also offers a full range of product lifecycle management services including testing, repair, refurbishment and post market services.

Lifecycle management is essential to research, engineering, and new product development. It brings program planning, manufacturing, maintenance capabilities and services together in a unified view. At Nortech, this holistic approach enables teams to ensure research happens in the context of customer needs and feedback while producing products with greater efficiency and much more.

Lifecycle management is essential to research, engineering, and new product development, as it brings program planning, manufacturing, maintenance capabilities, and services together in a unified view. At Nortech, this holistic approach enables engineering teams to ensure that research happens in the context of customer needs and feedback while also producing products with greater efficiency while managing cost, constraints, and customer expectations.

Bring It Together with Proven Expertise, Innovation, Value & Flexibility

Improve communication and collaboration among your stakeholders. You can gain greater efficiency and accuracy in manufacturing and reduce costs by being responsive to changes in customer demand or market conditions.

Our product lifecycle management services will evaluate the challenges and opportunities. We help streamline processes, mitigate risks and optimize costs from product conception through obsolescence.

Through this process, we track progress and manage changes to ensure that product is developed on time and within budget. Our team employs consumption data and customer feedback to make product improvements and create an accurate demand plan. This is also taking sunset strategies into consideration for managing inventory levels. At obsolescence, we can manage product closeout activities such as recycling or dispositioning components.

Engineering & Design Services

The Nortech engineering and design teams play a crucial role in product lifecycle management. This starts with generating insights into market and user needs, followed by concept development leading to design feasibility assessments. These research-driven insights inform decisions throughout the lifecycle – from operations to supply chain management through production, serviceability, and disposal.

We work to ensure a quick and successful product deployment in the market through early engagement and a continuing presence throughout the many project stages.

Program Management

Our program management team delivers consistent results by breaking down each project into five coordinated phases:

We define the clinical/marketing input, design feasibility and user needs and create a project plan outlining customer requirements. A Design History File is initiated with design deliverables followed by test verification and optimization. Validation and launch are the final phase. This includes a production build for clinical trials if needed and the release of all design, material and regulatory documentation. We ensure everything stays on track while offering customized program management.

Work with us to develop your products quickly and cost-effectively.

Improve Your Product Quality, Reduce Costs and Improve Customer Satisfaction by Building a Plan From Beginning to End

Combining Design for Manufacturability & Quick-Turn Prototyping

Using DFM principles ensures that every design aspect is optimized for cost-effectiveness and quality. It also takes into consideration assembly, testing and serviceability requirements along the entire product lifecycle.

Incorporating quick-turn prototyping can rapidly prove the efficacy of any DFM recommendations, thereby eliminating design flaws before entering production. This guarantees accessibility during testing and post market services. By applying these techniques and services, we work with you to develop and launch your product vision in the shortest amount of time at the lowest cost.

We deliver high-quality, high-performance manufacturing using our innovation and global expertise to find solutions to your most important challenges. Our ability to combine wire/cable, PCBA and many value-added manufacturing services in an integrated facility means a shorter, more secure production process for you.

Test, Repair & Postmarket Support

Postmarket support is crucial to the safety and reliability of your products. We offer a dynamic and customizable portfolio of services to give you and your customers peace of mind after that initial sale. With custom test design and planning, Nortech assures your initial product meets definitive specifications and is ready for the market. We even offer drop shipment and virtual inventory control, so you ship direct from Nortech to your customer instead of your warehouse.

If the product requires postmarket services, we offer a full range of repair and refurbishment services that can be tied in with ongoing manufacturing or standalone. Additionally, we provide value-added services including product certification and compliance testing, environmental testing and warranty support.
