Readiness for serial production
refining technological and design specifications in a manner that allows for the preparation of a production line for the manufacture of a new generation of induction cookers.
What was achieved?
Efficient industrialisation
going from the development stage to the point of stable serial production, including quality and process requirements.
Product commercialisation
preparing the groundwork for the introduction of induction cookers into the client’s market offer, in agreed variants and configurations.
Better linking of R&D with production
strengthening cooperation between the development, process engineering and production departments, which resulted in a more predictable implementation process.

Project challenges
The organisation was preparing for a large-scale technological project related to the introduction of induction solutions in cookers. The project included both conceptual work and preparation for subsequent mass production and commercialisation. An experienced expert was needed to support the R&D team in the area of induction technology, organise the project work and make sure the results of the development work could be effectively implemented on the production line and in the market offer.
Changing the product technology
transition from gas solutions to advanced induction cookers, while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
Complex R&D project
combination of technical, production, service and usage requirements in a single, coherent development project.
“From R&D to the market” perspective
the necessity of conducting work in such a way that the project could be completed not only with the preparation of a concept but also with the industrialisation and commercialisation of a new product.
