HARDWARE IS EXPLODING
Unprecedented periods of growth come with lots of chaos.
DRAGON INNOVATION HAS HELPED LAUNCH AND SCALE OVER 100 COMPANIES SINCE 2009
HARDWARE INNOVATION NOW COMES FROM THE LITTLE GUY Prototyping has never been easier thanks to 3D printing, Arduino, the Maker Movement
(all of these guys are Dragon clients)
Product Development !
The New Way
14
CROWDFUNDING IS FUEL ON THE FIRE
•Raise capital upfront •Validate product / market fit •Create engaged & passionate community early •Get the attention of media and investors •Understand build volumes
New transactional model is perfect for hardware
But the promise of the hardware revolution faces an existential
threat.
75% OF CROWDFUNDED HARDWARE PROJECTS
DELIVER LATE OR NOT AT ALL

STEP 2: REQUEST FOR QUOTE / CM SELECTION*
!
!
!*THE MOST IMPORTANT MANUFACTURING DECISION YOU’LL MAKE
41
Overview of the CM Selection Process
http://en.wikipedia.org
1. Talk with trusted network connections who have manufacturing experience. 2. Create a differentiated list of 5 - 10 CMs. 3. Down select to 3 - 5 factories based on your product category (why?) 4. Create a Request for Quote (RFQ) Package. 5. Visit! 6. Analyze Results. 7. Negotiate Big Items. 8. Talk with the CM’s customers. 9. Select the winner, and leave the others on good terms.
42
RFQ Package
http://en.wikipedia.org
•Company Overview -Team overview -Funding -Product -What’s done -What needs to be done -Factory Criteria
•BOM -Canonical format (A2A) in Excel -Transparent and Formula Driven -Separate Std, Special and Consigned Margins/Markups -Include all costs to Ex-Factory -Fill in the blanks
•Schedule -Gantt chart (Cloud) -Fill in the blanks
43
Factory Visit Checklist
http://en.wikipedia.org
Do you like the team? Are they experienced and friendly? Do they have the right manufacturing capabilities? Does your intended volume match their volume capabilities? Are they financially stable? Do they have enough working capital to get going? Do they have favorable payment terms? Are they transparent in their costing? Do they take IP seriously? Did they show you something they shouldn’t have? Are they ethical in their treatment of their workers and otherwise? Do you have access to upper management? Are they excited about working on your product?

CM Comparison (A2A Decision Matrix)
http://en.wikipedia.org
•Total Material Costs •Labor •Margins/Markup (Std, Special, Consigned) •Pareto of Top 5 Most Expensive Components •Fixed Costs (tooling, fixtures, NRE) •Schedule •Fit Criteria
POP QUIZ
• Question: What is the biggest challenge in manufacturing ?
Hint
POP QUIZ
• Question: What is the biggest challenge in manufacturing?
• Answer: Communication! • You cannot design in a vacuum (even if you design
vacuums). Strong communication and teamwork skills are critical to success. Engineering is team sport. It’s all about the people. “Us” and “Them” won’t work.

Cost of Goods Sold
(COGS)
• Direct costs for goods produced. • Does NOT include Tooling. • Actual price depends on where a
company takes ownership: - Ex-Factory (XF) - FOB (add overland transport to
XF) - Landed (add shipping to FOB) - Inventory (add warehousing)
• Price will vary by date depending on running changes, transportation costs, currency exchange, commodity costs, etc.

COGS
COGS YOUR DESIGN
• Material and Component Selection
• Fabrication Method • Manufacturing Efficiency
(First Time Yield, machine tonnage, assembly labor, number of operations, etc.)
• Quality Requirements (driven by requirements / Voice of Customer)
• Packout (replaceable vs. rechargeable batteries; packaging; spares, etc.)
MANUFACTURING PARTNER • BOM Transparency • Profit Margin • Labor Rate • Currency • Geographic Location
(shipping, tariffs, etc.) • Capability (in-house vs.
outsourced) • Supply Chain (Purchasing
Power, volume (piggy back), Consigned vs Purchased, etc).
Controlling Costs
1.Deconstruct the BOM. 2.Separate special components. 3.Transparency 4.Compare to standards. 5.NegoAate Inclusions
Additional COGS Strategies
Cost
•Bill of Material Transparency: Require factories to provide an item by item costed BOM. No mysteries or hidden formulas.
•Calculate labor rates. Pop Quiz – How???
•Build a “Standard Cost” database. Price out cost reducJons.
•If Jme permits, develop relaJonships with mulJple vendors to avoid single source suppliers. Leverage is a beauJful word.
•When manufacturing in volume for a CE product, it is criJcal to understand and control COGS. Focus here! Because of the volume, every penny counts ($10k @ 1M units)

Anatomy of a BOM• Plastic • Purchased Parts • Electrical Components • Consigned Components • Deco • Packaging • Assembly Labor • CM Profit, Overhead and Scrap • Overland Transportation
• Does it matter that it is a gear???
• Components (3) 1.Material Cost = Part Weight * Resin Cost 2.Machine Overhead: = Hourly Cost * Cycle Time (sec) / (3,600 sec / hr) 3.Factory Mark-up, Scrap and Overhead (%)
• Total Part Cost: = (Material Cost + Overhead Cost) * (1+Factory M/U)
How to Calculate Plastic
HK Resin Prices (USD/Ton)
Reference: http://www.nhh.com.hk/eng/trading/price_trend.asp (you will need to create a login)
Item Cost (USD)
280 Ton / hr $15.48
220 Ton / hr $10.96
180 Ton / hr $8.38
140 Ton / hr $7.09
100 Ton / hr $5.80
80 Ton / hr $5.16
Example PRC
How to Calculate EE Costs
• Cost = Component * Usage • Separate high cost components over a certain
threshold. Apply a lower mark-up. • Apply Factory M/U
Typical PRC CM Margins (Profit, Scrap, Overhead)
PCBA 6–8%
Toys 12%
Consumer 15%
Medical >40%
Other BOM Costs
• Deco (Tampo, Paint, etc.) • Labor (PRC $2 – 6 / hr) • Packaging (Gift + Master)
Schedule
Schedule
•Many consumer products are driven by the Christmas (which has a fixed date). Plan conJngency in your schedule. Things never go according to plan.
Have an onsite presence. Track schedule carefully and take correcJve acJons early. Avoid: “There is never Jme to do it right the first Jme, but there is always Jme to do it again. ”

Quality
Quality•DefiniJons:
•Quality = Customer SaJsfacJon = Performance – ExpectaJons •“Fitness for Use” Incoming Quality Control: Use good ingredients. Build and test along the way. Use sub-‐components. StaJsJcal Process Control (SPC) / Yield. Find out now, not later. Sample TesJng: Temp/Humidity; TransportaJon; Drop; T/T; Small Parts; Heavy Metals;
Compliance; FuncJonal; Life. How do tests match reality? ISTA-‐3A. Final InspecJon / Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL) Walk the line. Get your hands dirty. It is much easier (and less expensive) to make changes before ProducJon Start. What happens if something fails? Will make or break a product … and a Company! Quality is rarely considered in the engineering phase by startups due to schedule, cost and
technical pressures. Watch out for the Unknown Unknowns. Strong indicator of long term success, etc. Can you answer the quesAon “How do you know the product is good”?
