Taking an idea and turning it into a product.
i2S offers its customers an INNOVATION PROCESS that is complete,
flexible and economical.
-
Complete because our departments cover all steps in the product design
chain from product marketing to serial production. Like the i2S business units
that have been using this process for a long time to the great satisfaction of
their markets, major international customers entrust i2S Innovation to
imagine, design, develop, industrialize, manufacture and maintain the vision
products and sub-assemblies they need.
-
Flexible, because our customers can enter or leave the innovation chain
at any phase. In this way, i2S Innovation can enter into a KAISEN-type
arrangement with its customers in which mutual confidence and learning
take hold thereby minimizing development risks and fostering concurrent
engineering processes. It is also flexible because our major equipment
manufacturer customers and major account customers can use their own
standards for project management. And, last but not least, the putting in
place of a GO/NOGO contractual clause allows the partners to have constant
control over their mutual commitments.
-
Economical, because the return on intangible investments is the main
benefit expected by our customers. To this end, i2S Innovation has developed 4
integrated engines into its project management that allow project development
costs to be minimized:
– Constant monitoring of the cost objective of the final product
from the initial phases up until the start of production
– A functional approach to the cost price of a product
– Transparent tracking of project costs and progress status.
– Financial engineering ranging from risk sharing by i2S,
to collaborative financing, to PCRD-type (Research Framework Program) requests
for proposals.
