Key Uncertainties
1. Ability to produce at a low cost.
Action plan: perform a cost analysis of all materials and components once narrowed down, determine local availability of materials.
2. Egg crate design works far upstream, may cause a manufacturing delay to market.
Action plan: if design is pursued, determine all the parts of the supply chain that will be affected and resulting stakeholders' involvement needed, create a cost-benefit analysis of trade offs to decide on final design to pursue in light of this issue.
3. Which product concept will be feasible and meets the customers unmet need?
Action plan: share three preliminary concepts with stakeholders engage them to select the most promising idea.
4. Viability of implementation - will what we do work within the existing infrastructure?
Action plan: check with our supply-chain expert stakeholders at various stages of development with mock-ups and sketches to verify viability.
5. Can we innovate, but meet WHO standards so this can be purchased for field use?
Action plan: compare our specifications to published WHO standards, utilize their testing plan.
