R&D and Quality Control
R&D
Forvorda has successively established provincial high-tech research and development centers, provincial technology centers, provincial industrial design centers, national post-doctoral research workstations, and academician workstations. In 2015, Forward completed the acceptance of the Zhejiang Province Technology Center Innovation Capability Building Project, creating a comprehensive research and development environment for motors and their components. In 2016, the testing center passed the "CNAS" certification and was rated as a Zhejiang Province Enterprise Research Institute. Forvorda currently holds 217 authorized intellectual property rights, participates in and leads the formulation of several industry standards, and collaborates with many well-known domestic universities for industry-university-research cooperative innovation, continuously advancing Forvorda's scientific and technological skills and enhancing its innovative capabilities.

R&D Process
The foundation of Forvorda lies in high standards and strict requirements for product quality. In order to ensure that standards can be unified and implemented among various departments of Forvorda, a set of relatively complete product development process has been formed based on continuous practice during product development. The entire process is divided into 5 stages, which are the project feasibility analysis stage, the plan research stage, the product design and development stage, the production preparation , and the batch production application follow-up stage.
The goals and main content of each stage are shown in the following diagram. Each stage has clear objectives and outcome to be achieved. And at the completion of one stage, it is necessary to make a summary of this stage, conduct technical reviews and business reviews, and enter the next stage of work after passing.
