Taking into consideration that the failure rate of new product development is somewhere between 25 – 45% and that only one new product launch succeeds out of seven ideas, it’s obvious that having a standardized innovation process is critical for saving your company time and money. Although it can differ based on the individual needs of a company, there are several approaches that can be used for formalizing a Product Development Process (PDP). Discover 3 of the most recognized PDP.

Of course, fittings are standard items used to connect the components together, using tubing as the flow path bridge between components. Yet, one of the most commonly-asked questions regarding fittings is, “Where do all these fittings go in my system?” In other words, how do I know what to use and where? One common way to distinguish between fittings is by classifying them based on the pressure they can hold. This narrows the fittings choice based on where in the system they will be used. Learn what goes where in an HPLC system.

The participation of a supplier that utilizes their own PDP internally can improve both the effectiveness of the product development outcome as well as the efficiency of the product development process. The effectiveness of a supplier is related directly to how well they perform compared against the desired product outcome, while efficiency is related to development costs and the required time for the supplier to complete development.
