Pre-analysis of Projects

Classical word of wisdom:
The pre-project phase consumes 5% of the budget,
but it can influence 95% of the total project cost.

Important is to analyze a project in detail before starting. Possibilities and drawbacks must be identified early if cost and performance are to be truly optimized. Experience tells that chosen routs seldom are changed to any significant degree after the pre-project phase. Time and efforts spent on the pre-project planning could be re-gained many times over later on in the project.

Know-how Pre-project activities could include, for example, feasibility studies addressing:

A toolbox with know-how
Prior art and competitors
Possibilities, limitations and backup alternatives
Time-schedules, resources and manufacturing options

Colibri can assist you with such feasibility studies. Here, a key feature is Colibri’s specialty to rapidly enter new technical areas and obtain useful results within a limited time-frame. The topics could either be addressed together with you, or the results could be delivered in the form of reports.

Examples of pre-projects Colibri has been involved in:

Bofors Aerotronics AB (submarine search)
RADI Medical Systems AB (medical sensors)
Siemens-Elema AB (neural networks for ECG)
The Swedish Post Services (mailboxes)
Vaisala Technologies Inc., Oy (gyroscopes)
