Our processes clearly separate us from companies who claim to have similar capabilities. The following characteristics make our process unique:

Project Selection
Our disciplined project review process allows us to focus only on projects which match our technical, manufacturing and business capabilities with your needs. We only take on projects when 100% of the required resources are available to meet the desired delivery date.

Designed for Speed and Efficiency
Our development processes are highly refined and responsive to our customer's needs. We remove the roadblocks that too often get in development's way, slowing results. Instead, we give our seasoned staff tremendous responsibility and accountability to deliver superior results.

Superb Communication and Responsiveness
Our working style emphasizes close communication, customer involvement, and responsiveness. We do not accept your order and then disappear until it is done. Our philosophy is to engage with you, your team, and other stakeholders throughout the process. We do not forget that this is YOUR program and YOUR success is riding on it.

Sophisticated Information Systems
Our fully integrated development process and information systems provide us with rapid design execution, simplified manufacturing introductions and optimum project control.

Project Management Focus
Effective project management is central to the Owens Design collaboration process. Our project managers are involved in the development cycle from proposal preparation to completion to ensure the successful delivery of your product. All Owens Design program managers are engineers and can address technical issues directly. They define the project scope, establish regular communication with you and manage the delivery of the needed information.

Evolved Design Practices
Our engineers average over 20 years of experience and are armed with the with the latest design automation tools and a thorough understanding of the technical requirements in our focus industries. The team has developed a library of best practices on subjects such as component selection, control architectures, materials and drive-train design. These resources furnish us with proven approaches to problems and help us deliver a superior product within accelerated deadlines.

Disciplined Project Execution
Our teams are trained on our project delivery processes and strictly adhere to these processes because they have been proven to deliver a highly successful project at the lowest possible development cost.

Change Control
Whether it's a requirement change in the prototype phase or a part obsolescence during production, correctly implementing changes during any phase of the process is essential to a successful program. We use an expert change control process that ensures changes are captured, documented and implemented as efficiently as possible.
