Either as part of the design process or in its purest form, research is critical whereby answers to puzzling situations are discovered.  Perhaps a product does not function as intended or its manufactured outcome is not what was expected.

 

Through research and development, Methods will find the solutions for you.

 

HOW METHODS CAN HELP

We diagnose causes of failures or dysfunctions, derive a prognosis, find a resolution to the fundamental cause of the issues, and implement resolution through design.  We DO NOT practice a "bandage" philosophy.

 

If testing is required, and it usually is, we will plan, implement, and even conduct or supervise the tests as required.  A report of the test/research and the results will be generated.

 

Reports are necessary as a means to control and communicate each test or experiment and it becomes the primary historical record for future reference.  A well written report is essential so that a comprehensive understanding of the research, its objective, and the outcome, is clearly conveyed.
