Some businesses focus on the design phase, which determines a product’s raw materials, capabilities, and performance. (In fact, 80% of a product’s costs are determined when it is designed.) Most businesses compete in the next phase, production. Because a majority of businesses adopt the same standards in manufacturing, it’s difficult for them to distinguish themselves at this stage. The final stage is customer support, which spans the longest part of a product’s life.

Companies that ignore the aftermarket do so at their peril.
