Core Processes – Product Realization

Product development defines the processes required for the development of new products and the modification of existing designs, i.e. it includes the planning and controlling of the development of a specific product, determination and documentation of product requirements, preparation, analysis with subsequent comparison of results with the design specification and, finally, the evaluation of a product’s suitability for the specified application or employment.

The corporate processes Sales, Logistics and Product Processing describe how we realize the different customer needs.
