Our Product Development Cycle
The many steps of a successful product development cycle leverage disparate capabilities in business, creativity, design, engineering, prototyping, validation, and manufacturing, PLUS the management talent and industry knowledge to integrate all those pieces effectively and efficiently. The CATI product development team has decades of experience in management and execution to accomplish this.
We can support you and your team with all aspects of product development
- Detailed Gantt charts

We do Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
Cost effective product development programs rely upon FEED to minimize total expenditures. Although initial investment is generally higher (more up front engineering), the process generally leads to reduced cost of product development and final products.
FEED capabilities:
- Planning/costing
- Concept design/trade studies
- Optimization/DOE
- FMEA/DVP&R support
The CATI Advantage
Our design/development process is:
- Initial review of OEM requirements, objectives, and timing
- CATI-established development plan
- Iterative design and analysis cycles utilizing conventional FE, shape optimization, and CAD mastering
- Weekly video conferences with customer (manufacturer) to assess progress, review specific design details, and solicit manufacturing review and input
- CATI also supports customer with OEM proposal development, providing content, reducing effort required by customer
