Ask for your CONSELF consultant
Our professionals have a wide experience in Engineering Design and can offer a various set of solutions ranging from problem identification to process and product optimization
Understanding what the customer needs is the core activity in the first phase. Problem identification and preliminary analysis typically involve an iterative process where customer and consultant arrive to the clear definition of goals and deadlines, given the starting situation, narrowing down instrument and solution possibilities. The better the accuracy of this phase, the higher the independence of the consultant in carrying out the study
When starting configuration and requested output have been clarified, a feasibility analysis is carried out to outline methods, instruments and procedures that will be adopted to achieve the best result. When needed, a preliminary validation study can be performed, to confirm process accuracy and capabilities. At the same time a quotation is issued, specifying delivery time schedule as well as overall costs split by activity
After the contract has been signed, the scheduled activity stream is started. In this phase the consultant can proceed with a good degree of independence, yet reviews at fixed intervals can be organized in order to easily monitor how the project is proceeding and how the time schedule is being respected. Few preliminary insights can be available, but it strongly depends on analysis nature and outcomes looked for
Once the study is complete, an analysis report is issued with detailed activity description. It describes: problem statement, critical points and requested outcome, adopted method, assumptions, limitations and modeling choices made; results summary, with the description of results analysis through images, videos and charts, analysis of possible negative results, investigation on their causes and advice on possible improvements
At the end of the collaboration a fundamental aspect is customer satisfaction. When the consulting activity helps reaching desired goals it is a win/win situation, that is the best for everyone and our final target. Feedback in the form of interviews or written surveys are usually proposed, asking for suggestion about the whole experience in order to improve the workflow and to build solid foundation for future collaborations
