The Fit Feel & Finish (FFF) concept serves as the cornerstone of product excellence, encompassing the intricate aspects of fit precision, tactile sensation, and visual aesthetics. When operationalizing FFF in a production environment, a comprehensive approach is essential:
1. Quality Control Measures:
Implement stringent protocols at every stage of production. This includes ensuring precise fit and alignment of components, meticulous material selection based not just on functionality but also on tactile properties, and extensive training on craftsmanship to maintain consistent quality.
2. Meticulous Metrics & KPIs:
Measurement is key to FFF implementation. Metrics should encompass dimensional accuracy for fit, user feedback for feel aspects like texture and ergonomics, and visual inspection for surface quality and appearance. These KPIs serve as benchmarks for quality assessment.
3. Continuous Improvement Initiatives:
Employ a culture of ongoing enhancement. Focus on reducing defects through improved fit and finish, enhancing user satisfaction by refining tactile experiences, and increasing production yield by streamlining manufacturing processes. This involves incorporating feedback loops and employing innovative techniques to elevate FFF standards continually.
By embracing precision manufacturing, prioritizing user experience, and elevating visual appeal, manufacturers can embed the essence of FFF into their products. This approach doesn't just ensure meeting functional requirements but also guarantees customer satisfaction and loyalty by delivering products that excel in fit, feel, and finish.

We are very pleased to announce that Haier Experience Design Language (EDL) has been included in the ADI Design Index 2023!
EDL represents an evolution of the more traditional VBL (Visual Brand Language): a seamless corpus of guidelines able to span from brand to service and product and to bridge coherently all the physical and digital touch points that end users will experience in the retail and everyday interaction with Haier.
Milan Experience Design (MED) Team is very proud of this achievement as the volume brings together all the products that will be eligible to compete for the ADI Associazione per il Disegno Industriale Compasso d'Oro Award 2024.
Please join us in congratulating the entire MED team on this fantastic achievement!

Great conversation (and what a gorgeous workspace you have!!!) Afterwards I had someone come up to me and say something to the effect of, "Panel discussions often seem to be hit or miss but this one was a HIT!!" 🙌 Thanks for the opportunity to join you all and for the great planning & prep leading up to the event!
