Key Principles
Genesys has a refined development process that is built upon the following six foundational principles:
Genesys has a refined development process that is built upon the following six foundational principles:
- High levels of organisation, traceability and accountability
- Clear and comprehensive definition of requirements
- Careful investigation and resolution of risks
- Methodical design and simulation
- Detailed review of all development outcomes
- Thorough testing
Results
Our process efficiently and accurately produces high quality outcomes and eliminates the “hit and miss” approach to engineering. In almost all cases we are able to proceed to manufacture with only one prototyping pass! This results in lower development costs, short lead times to market and much less disappointment.

Structure
Our development process consists of five stages, each with clear objectives and defined tasks and deliverables:
Our development process consists of five stages, each with clear objectives and defined tasks and deliverables:
- Requirement analysis
- Project planning
- Proposal preparation
This stage is aimed at determining requirements and preparing a project plan and proposal which defines project objectives, tasks, deliverables, applied resources, timeframes and costs.
- Concept development
- Product specification
- Technical feasibility & risk assessment
- Product architecture design
- Costing, power budget, mechanics
- Component research & preliminary design
This stage is aimed at determining, defining and documenting product requirements, refining the product concept and answering key technical and commercial questions related to the product's feasibility, form, architecture, function, performance and cost.
- Schematic design and review
- PCB Design and review
- Software development
- Prototype documentation
- Component procurement
- Prototype construction
This stage is aimed at designing and producing functional prototypes in the form of the final product.
- Test specification
- Verification
- Compliance testing
- Field trails
- Product validation
This stage is aimed at verifying prototypes and obtaining formal approvals.
- Hardware refinement
- Software refinement
- Production test specification
- Manufacturing documentation
- Pilot production
This stage is aimed at refining the product design and preparing the product for volume manufacture.
Each stage provides an opportunity to review and assess project progress, risks and outcomes prior proceed with a subsequent development stage.
