Commencing before program approval and continuing into the prototype stage, this phase involves detailed product engineering, risk analysis (e.g., FMEA), design verification, and development. It aims to create a robust and manufacturable product design that meets functional and regulatory requirements.
Overlapping with the product design phase and extending to the pilot stage, this phase addresses the development of manufacturing processes, including process flow diagrams, control plans, equipment selection, and layout design. Its goal is to ensure processes are capable, efficient, and support consistent product quality.
This phase runs through the prototype and pilot stages. It involves the validation of both product design and manufacturing processes via testing, pre-production builds, and capability studies. The aim is to confirm that the product and process meet all customer and regulatory requirements before full-scale production.
Post-launch planning continues into the production lifecycle, addressing ongoing improvements, customer feedback, and market demands. It supports the strategic direction of the product post-launch, ensuring sustainability and continuous improvement.
Continuous Activity: Feedback, Assessment, & Corrective Actions
Spanning the entire life cycle from concept initiation to launch and beyond, this foundational process ensures that lessons learned, performance data, and customer feedback are continually integrated to drive process improvements, risk mitigation, and quality enhancements.
This workflow aligns closely with methodologies such as advanced product quality planning (APQP) and reinforces a proactive approach to quality management throughout the product development lifecycle.
