Why Life Cycle Management?
- Time savings: earlier revenue, longer product life, reduced time to market
- Cost savings: prototyping, warranty and aftermarket cost reductions, re-use of information and parts, reduction of waste
- Improved quality: product improvements, production and engineering workflow efficiencies
- Improved customer service from product development to end-of-life
Product design and a focus on managing the entire product lifecycle are today the key areas to maintain a competitive edge. It is critical to find partners that are capable of managing the customer's requirements at any stage of the product lifecycle.
MCT Mitchell Cotts offer a "one stop shop" source of value adding services at the different stages of the product life cycle.

- Innovators and inventors often focus on technical development rather than on funding, intellectual property protection and marketing.
- The lack of both project management capabilities and holistic approach can make the transition from design to manufacturing extremely challenging in terms of cost, time and quality; often with disappointing results.
- At the transition from invention to production, innovators, startups and early stage companies may benefit from outsourcing many services before reaching break even or becoming cash positive.
- Finding the right partner managing all product manufacturing activities to bring hardware-based products to market on time and at an agreed cost is a critical success factor.
- When a new product enters the market, customers are initially protected by the product warranty.
- The manufacturer offers an aftermarket policy to provide customer assistance and to supply spare parts in the initial phase of the product life.
- However, when the manufacturer warranty expires, products in service still need maintaining as they retain an economic value. Customers expect the support promised by the brand; from purchase through to ultimate replacement.
