Diamond Anchor Products was established to design, develop, and deliver premium products to the marine marketplace. When it comes to the reliability and longevity of engineered marine products, the coastal environment is an unforgiving adversary. Only products that are of exemplary quality in both design and execution achieve long-term success in the marine environment. At Diamond Anchor Product we understand the challenges of the marine environment and we have decades of practical experience in multiphase product development. We are continuously looking for opportunities to innovate to improve upon traditional product designs or to introduce something altogether new. To do this we employ a time tested multiphase process to ensure that we create innovative products that satisfy our mission and deliver on our vision.
Our process begins by brainstorming product concepts for various applications in the marine environment. Once we identify an idea for a potential product we spend a substantial amount of time performing detailed market research to assess the viability of the potential product and to quantify market need. If our research indicates a strong opportunity, we begin to develop discrete product concepts. Next each concept is evaluated and a preferred concept is chosen based on several key criterion including product mix of features, functions, and benefits. Once the preferred concept has been chosen engineering work is done to produce a base design. With a completed base design we then perform a detailed design review to evaluate the viability of the concept. If the concept is found to be viable a decision is made on whether or not to move forward with prototyping. Prototyping is the first step in which the product moves from paper to real life and by virtue of the work involved this is a highly dynamic and rewarding process step. After prototypes are produced they are subjected to factory test protocols that serve to verify product performance and integrity. At this point an FMEA analysis is completed and any and all relevant changes required to achieve the detailed design are made. Next up is field testing. During this stage the latest revision of the prototypes are installed in the field to test their performance in the actual environment and daily conditions that they will see once they become commercial products.
