Adrian is joined by Sofeast Group Head of New Product Development, Paul Adams, to unpack the brutal truth behind the question: “Can you actually afford to manufacture your new product idea?”
They bust some of the most dangerous myths (like “MOQ × unit price is my total cost” and “we’ll fix reliability later”), then walk through Sofeast/Agilian’s 6-phase NPI process for electromechanical products and show how your budget is really consumed; from feasibility and prototyping through to tooling, pilot runs, and mass production. If you’re planning to launch a new product, this episode is your reality check and roadmap.
