The recipe for a good and long term relationship

Developing, designing and manufacturing high performance medical garments and textiles is not an easy undertaking. Garment and textile design has is own logic. Which materials and technology to use? Which treatments to apply on the garment as well as which accessories to incorporate and why?  What does the regulation stipulate on your specific market? What effect do the choices we make have on the price, the lead time and the end user? When do we need to start production in order to ensure OTD? All these questions are just some of the areas which need to be covered when designing medical textiles and garments. Always being one step ahead when steering the development and manufacturing process is vital in order to reach the goals within the given deadlines.

The stage gate model employed at Tytex - a structured approach to a complex reality

Having worked with many different types of customers on a wide variety of projects over the course of five decades we have identified the universal need for structure when developing complex medical garment and textile solutions. Therefore, we have developed a tried and tested stage gate approach. By applying this approach when developing garments and textiles for our partners we aim to both respect and address the fact that market, company and end user requirements are different and complex. By introducing an ordered and highly structured approach to working with a variety of needs, requirements, regulations and professional groups we ensure that all the right questions are addressed at the right time and that our customers are well-informed and listened to at all times during the various stages of the development process.

Stage 1: Prototype and development phase

Having agreed on scope of cooperation as well as terms the real work on the partners project starts. We quickly hold a meeting between the partners' project owner and associated team and the project team at Tytex. Having decided on the scope and various product requirements Tytex's team immediately begin developing a working prototype as this in our experience is the best way of rapidly realising the optimal solution. The customer and the Tytex team now have a tangible solution which can be felt, seen and commented on easily. Upon having viewed the prototype the customer always has comments and suggestions. These inputs are implemented within two weeks into prototype version 2.0. Another — and normally final — feedback loop is then undergone and the prototype is modified for the last time. Usually a total of two feedback loops is the contractually agreed upon for existing products and three to four for new models.  

Stage 2: Sample development phase

Having agreed that the prototype is correct and it meets all the requirements of the initial agreement we move on with sample production. Here the products manufacturing viability tested and determined and user tests and evaluations are performed. Moreover, the customer will receive samples for comments. After test results and comments are gathered modifications will again be made if needed and the final product is developed.

Stage 3: Production and delivery

After stage one and two stage three mostly is a formality. At Tytex we have our own in-house, large-scale production facilities and therefore products developed and modified during stage one and two are always ready for production immediately. No further corrections are needed and no lengthy production conversion processes are needed. Time to market is rapid and no hassle will be experienced the customer.

Widely different partners with widely different needs — Tytex is able to deliver to close to any requirements

Our partner base consists of many different sizes and types of companies in many different locations and markets. We partner with some of the biggest brands in the industry and we partner with small, innovative start ups with unique ideas. No project is too big or too small for us. 

Catering to so such a widely different partner portfolio is both greatly rewarding as well as highly demanding and this might be part of the reason why we are successful. We need to constantly stay current in regards to legislation, reimbursement policies, user needs and manufacturing process innovations in order to optimally service our large and diverse partner portfolio. 

Some of our partners only need our help for large scale manufacturing while others are totally new to the industry and need advice and counseling to everything from legislation, logistics, development, design, packaging and marketing. We are willing and able to cater to any customer profile and needs.

We understand that not all medical textile companies similar and markets are different and require different efforts. Therefore, we have created a unique way of cooperating with our partners which aims to address and embrace the complexity by introducing overall universal structure. When applying this approach we ensure that we always ask the right questions as well as constantly listen to and communicate with the customer and ultimately meet or exceed our customers' business needs and ambitions. We also ensure that the capabilities of both organisations as well as the strategic fit are respected and optimally utilised. 

Besides applying our highly efficient stage gate approach we analyse, map out and qualify the future partnership – immediately visualising potential challenges and identify the optimal plan for the cooperation process. A mutually beneficial partnership is quickly established and this overall structure ensures that both parties – your business and Tytex – evolve, grow and learn from the partnership. By using the stage gate approach previously mentioned in the development, design and manufacturing of our garments we ensure that both our partners and we are constantly aligned and no deadline is missed. This way of working has also shown effective in relations to securing that no time is wasted and we prevent mistakes. Moreover, this approach has proven to be very conducive in regards to satisfaction, discipline and commitment by all team members.

The ultimate result from employing this way of working is a rapid time to market, excellent end results and products as well as universally satisfied stakeholders. The process from idea conception to finished product takes only approximately six months for even very demanding projects.
