Each phase of the product engineering process
benefits from the use of KollabNet. And together,
they are integrated through KollabNet's links.
Product planning - KollabNet helps you to
record brainstorming and research, and tie it
all together. It also keeps track of the
rationale behind each design decision including
information about alternatives selected as well
as alternatives rejected.
Requirements capture - Getting hold of the
numbers and statements that define the product
is one thing; keeping track of them all, and
maintaining their coherence, through the design
process, is another. KollabNet helps you do this
effortlessly.
Concept development - As
your design takes shape within the envelope of
requirements, KollabNet helps you make sure all
constraints are taken into account. Meanwhile,
it retains the research you do on rejected
design alternatives, which can be used later.
Design - Bringing concepts together with
real-world conditions is challenging, especially
with complex products. KollabNet helps you move
ahead smoothly, even with geographically
distributed teams.
Production Planning - You designed it; now
someone has to make it. KollabNet helps
production planners keep the requirements and
the design in sight, while facilitating the
exploration of multiple production plans.
Production & testing - Better than any
checklist, because it's "live," the KollabNet
"dashboard" helps you keep track of
manufacturing and quality processes.
Maintenance & support - The product has
a lifecycle; KollabNet can simulate all of it.
So you can know what will be affected by a
proposed change to any part of it.
