On the 10th of march, the IDZ, along with the NCS Colour GmbH, is going to organize a design excursion on the subject of »optimizing product development«. In this context, colour is an important factor because 85% of all buying decisions are based on colour. But how can one ensure that the preferred shade stays the same on different materials? The executive director Christofer Haux will teach how to manage colour-related production more effectively and how to omptimize the whole product development process. On the basis of case studies, the participants will learn how companies can shorten their product developments, reduce their costs and at the same time increase their level of quality.
