About Heinrich Bartels

I am passionate about helping businesses in approaching product development in a cost effective, systematic manner that aligns with business objectives and customer needs.The business environment is constantly changing, and costs tend to creep up. When I was responsible for a product portfolio it was constant juggling act. Managing the most immediate emergency always appeared to be more important than keeping costs in line. Ultimately product costs need to be kept in line to ensure the long-term success of any company.Whether a product is a simple tool or a large integrated electro-mechanical system, cost will always be important.
