Product Development & Inventing
Keeping it simple always works.
Larry Douglas of L.Douglas,LLC invents and develops consumer products of his
interest as well as for those of individuals and small companies. HIs office on Cape
Cod is small, consisting of himself and a few associates as resources when needed.

Ambiguity is the biggest hurdle in front of bringing
definition to new products or changing existing ones.
Beating the barrier down into much smaller hurdles is the
secret to climbing over it. The smaller solutions objectively
woven together will formulate a game plan. Expedient
delivery and profitability follow.

Areas of Technical Familiarity.
Bringing solid practical definition to an idea
before designing for production is rarely difficult
and is the secret to developing a successful
product. It must be done objectively and
realistically with participation from all who will own it.

Solving problems with existing products can happen
expediently but is worthless if it cannibalizes all the
hard work and money that went into the product.
Accurately defining and understanding the cause of
the problem always leads to a cost effective solution.

Accurately defining and understanding the cause of
the problem always leads to a cost effective solution.
Cost reduction or value added is only real if
it doesn't require significant product changes.
Small changes should be cautiously
implemented that will decrease manufacturing
time. This effects cost substantially.

The possibility of finding and defining new products
that will fit right into your manufacturing process is
always a positive undertaking and becomes easier when
everyone contributes. Successfully defining an
applicable product is almost guaranteed growth.
