Aid in the development of product lines from concept to completion, including sourcing and developing relationships with suppliers Pairing fabric swatches in order to narrow down our color palette

6 Aid in the development of product lines from concept to completion, including sourcing and developing relationships with suppliers Pairing fabric swatches in order to narrow down our color palette for Colorways I developed of a backpacking tent called the C Bar. There was a possibility of putting another colorway of this tent on the market so I was instructed to develop these options using three different Pantone greens. Colorways I created for a tent option for future production. This tent needed to be created only with excess fabrics and colors. Our goal was to not let this fabric go to waste and develop a lower costing tent for consumers.

7 Information about our down insulation from our supplier and the differences between feathers from goose and duck. Several suppliers we work with at Big Agnes. These supplier provide us with poles, zippers, and other trims.

16 Help prepare specs for sample development and assist with spec measuring Me measuring the total length of a sleeping bag. Measuring the weight of J-Stakes that came with one of our tents. Binders filled with check in information. This is one of the ways we keep record of what product has entered the office and what kind of samples they were. The office space.

17 A list of the Point of Measures (POMs) for a particular bag. I recorded the measurement I got and compared it to the spec. My assistant. Checking the logos and several details on a bag. A jacket and its Measure and Check In sheet.

I spent a lot of time in the Inventory Check-In Sheet excel document. Here, I gave each product a number and inserted all the appropriate information.

18 I spent a lot of time in the Inventory Check-In Sheet excel document. Here, I gave each product a number and inserted all the appropriate information. An example of a check-in sheet for one of our tents. These sheets are used to make comments and corrections. There are also used to look back on when recording hang tag and catalog information.

19 Production Packs. Understand the process by which production packs are completed. Become familiar with the information that is required for production packs. See how spec sheets and other tools are used to ensure production integrity and quality, including color matching A technical package for the Columbine Skirt. This tech pack includes all of the information needed to produce this product. It is important to have a clear and easily understandable tech pack so that the manufacturers can understand it and know what is expected.

A fill schedule I created for the Yock Regular sleeping bag.

20 Several pages pulled from the Copper Spur Expedition tech pack. It includes its dimensions and pole information. A fill schedule I created for the Yock Regular sleeping bag. This simple sketch is extremely helpful when communicating to our factories exactly how much down insulation is to be blown into each baffle.

21 The light box we use for color matching. This light box has several light settings. A lab dip we received. We have to decide which swatch is closest to what we asked for. Pantone cotton swatches we use to match colors to.
