PORTFOLIO PROGRAM
.
Factory of Factories ® represents
LabGraph's main portfolio program on Worldwide
Product Design and Industrial Systems Design.
Incorporating
from R & D – Research & Development
to Industrial Logistics, from training to KM – Knowledge
Management the program established on the WEB
portal is an open tool for Technology Transfer
and linking
industrial resources to the Research Institutions,
Equipment & Devices Suppliers, Services,
Consultants, Contractors, Universities, Inventors,
Researchers
and Designers.
Combining
new Rapid Product Design, Rapid Prototyping
and Rapid Tooling to new Industrial Systems Standards
in a common
language the portal establishes direct links
between concepts, technology and resources.
The
main Portal sections are in permanent evolution opening
spaces for all main industrial sectors into the sense
of world product from raw material to mold tools, process,
licensing, design and software.
Recent
changes in global market indicate new approaches to
product development may be essential.
Packaging and transportation, particularly on sizeable and fragile products,
are always emblematic costs for export production.
In addition, fixed investment,
and inflexibility in response to changeable demand marketing, distribution
development, communications and advertising, are other constraints in worldwide
product development.
Factory of Factories ® main approach concentrates
on product development designed to International market and involving
all phases of product
and industrial
production chain, involving important approach for environmental preservation
methodologies and researches.

_____________________________________________
OBJECTIVES & QUALIFICATIONS
The program purpose
is an open tool for publishing and to diffuse product
and production technology, research and resources.
Establishing as main rule publishing is allowed only for technology,
process, methods, equipments, patents or knowledge holders, two main
sectors are released:
¤ Commercial
Objectives
¤ Free open distribution
All technologies
under free open distribution shall be listed and related
by a main collection link, relating to authors articles
and pages. It's not prohibited to supply any free type
of method or technology offering consultant services.
The principal
importance is to maintain an open tool for publishing.
Therefore
two main roots are established:
I. Industrially Developed
Countries
II. Countries in Industrial Development
|
_______________________________________________
I - INDUSTRIALLY DEVELOPED
COUNTRIES
I. "Industrially Developed
Countries" program
launches ideas and resources following the most
recent standards and researches
and incentive
publishing all themes and panoramas allowing
finding new process for developing Industrial
Product Design
and Industrial Systems Design.
Some of the new standards are for products
that can be produced regionally under subcontract,
license and royalties or "Franchise".
Other
factors are:
¤ Avoid own industrial facilities.
¤ Few moulds tools and simple chain production.
¤ Low costs product & production development.
¤ High aggregate-value products.
¤ Fast investment return.
¤ Large-scale potential market.
¤ Similar product solutions to different markets.
¤ Supplying moulds tools
¤ High-tech products
¤ New WEB rich media - advertising plans for regional environment.
¤ Constant products development.
Some of the Factory of Factories ® concepts lead
to the product development aggregating technology and design to an
Industry-Matrix
making Molds Tools and production technologies to distribute to regional
manufacturers.
The
production under license (or subcontracting), allied
to the supply of essential parts and pieces makes the
Industry-Matrix a profitable enterprise with development
costs shared with licenseds or subcontracting participants
with assured profitability.

II - COUNTRIES IN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
II. "Countries in Industrial Development " Portfolio Program is
a completely different root, providing
simples resources and
technologies, new solutions and supplying
free methods and resources to create a
basis of industrial
development for those countries.
From
craftsman individual solutions for use where
energy is limited or inexistent, to small simples
industrial
home lines and/or small industries providing
solutions integrating the existent means
allowing to create
micro-economies is a very important mechanism
for development.
This
program integrates the complete chain, meaning the
raw material to packaging, preservation and transport.
In
this sense this program open methods explaining
technologies from agriculture to fishing, working
on as example
from handcraft artificial irrigation to fishing
and milling fishing rests to feed poultry. The
program
consider agriculture as raw material production
and integrates advises from agricultural engineers
practical
methods to settle up a production system until
basic concepts of administration.
Linking
right to diffusion centers at the developing countries,
as universities, research institutions, associations
and government the program searches to bring fast
results to those countries also introducing relations
for financial assistance and knowledge support.
Publishing
in this section requires a very strong fair play
approach; the portal administration will refuse in
all senses any matter looking for profiting from
these countries, not including free and open resources
attitude.

PRODUCT & DESIGN
Manufacturers have
a revolution in manufacturing terms resulting from
new technologies in Rapid Product development, Rapid
Prototyping and Rapid Tooling. The new
particular way in which computer-aided design transforms in Rapid Prototyping
and Rapid Tooling introduce a completely new path in product development.
The ability of computers to produce and change complex geometries and generate
files that drive new Fast Tooling machines, precipitate and eliminate potential
problems and costs incorporated in product and production development.
New
products can be introduced and a wide number of variants
can
lucratively be fabricated from a core product, raw
material or process in a reduced time with a very
reduced investment. Technological developments have
been radical
influence on style and originated distinguished products
in very wide markets.
Therefore
products designed and elaborated for the worldwide
purpose have to be originated from deep studies and
researches in
Design, Materials, Technologies,
Functionality and mainly International Market.
Distribution
represents the major cost and risk for worldwide
products. Managers have to understand using new
mechanisms as International WEB
Portal with
KM – Knowledge
Management applications, but also being prepared to take decisions
as licensing, exporting, local production sub-contracting, which
are the
basic corporate
judgment that means win or loose the aimed market.
The Factory
of Factories ® program develops solutions and
methods to support managing the implementation of systems/solutions
in worldwide business units,
preparing both environments:
¤ Technically on product and production chain development
¤ Culturally while being able to play a leading role in building support
teams and infrastructure.

____________________________________
PRODUCTS & LINES
Market characteristics in both developed and developing countries normally
suggest products, which have to enclose fast achievement and low investments
requirements.
¤ Materials such as plastics,
fiberglass, composites, aluminum or steel used
for these products in addition to characteristics
of simple production lines,
incorporating relative simplified production processes, which can be
produced in lines integrated to other products.
¤ Systems involving no requiring own Industrial Plant, utilizing few moulds
tools, incorporating new technologies, high degree of perfection in form, function
and quality and design-oriented to strategic industrial production.
¤ Complementing the products line, more products sport-related, leisure-related,
computer and telecom industry or supply chain, representing relevant technology
and/or design, present huge conditions for improving global markets.
¤ The products options have to be defined as easy to market, introducing
innovation characteristics and technology, competitive prices to become market
icons.
¤ Industrial partners, investors and suppliers industries
have to be chosen as a decisive factor for success, one of the main targets of Factory
of Factories ® WEB
Portal.
