In the process of communication with the Customer, I find out what problem he wants to solve, with what input data and with what final result. Based on these data, I draw up a draft technical assignment (TOR) and coordinate it with the Customer. In this case, several approvals are possible, since the TOR is the basis for further design.

After the Customer agrees on the final version of the TOR, an agreement is concluded between me, as a self-employed person, and the Customer. The contract specifies all the important conditions - technical specifications and expected results, cost and stages of work, payment terms, aspects of intellectual property for the results of development and their use, and other conditions.

After agreeing on the terms of reference and concluding a contract, I proceed to the development of a preliminary design, taking into account the tasks set and the production, technological or financial capabilities of the Customer. After the development of the ES, I coordinate the details with the Customer, make, if necessary, changes to the ES and proceed to the development of a technical project (TP).

When developing the TP, all comments and wishes issued by the Customer when agreeing on the draft design, as well as the technological and production capabilities or limitations of the Customer (executor) and the qualifications of its production personnel are taken into account. To do this, in the process of developing a TP, my colleagues and I try to maintain close contact with the Customer and his representatives.
When developing TP, a wide range of ready-made components, including imported ones, is used.
Also, if necessary, research and development work is carried out, new manufacturing technologies are being developed.
During the development of TP, technological recommendations for the manufacture of the product (solution of the problem) are developed in parallel.
In the process of developing technical specifications and documentation, I can involve colleagues from completely different areas of industry and production.
Working design documentation and operational documentation are developed in accordance with standards.

If necessary, I personally or my colleagues involved in the development participate in the assembly of the developed product. I also carry out architectural supervision of the manufacture of the product.
