PROTOTYPING / ANALYSIS / QUALITY ASSURANCE
Time pressures are the main source of problems associated with prototyping,
analysis, and quality assurance. As a result there is not enough time
to explore other design possibilities. Design problems found late
in the cycle are very expensive to fix and delay the production schedule.
Prototypes are expensive and time consuming, and elimination or reduction
of these can drastically improve time-to-market and product cost.
Industry Fact:
 |
Product testing represents 30% - 60%
of the overall product development cycle time |
|
Problems found after production cost
100 times more to fix than if these problems are found during
design |
Optimization at the Enterprise Level:
|
Expand personnel capability, access, and proficiency |
|
Streamline and automate communication with marketing,
sales, engineering and manufacturing |
|
Improve usage of existing or new tools |
|
Establish flexible standards or processes for
all remote facilities |
Impact on goals
|
Increase conformance to original design specifications |
|
Reduce the number of "over designed"
products and prototypes |
|
Reduce scrap rate or product failures |
|
Meet industry or regulatory specifications and
standards |
