Manufacturing Partner Effort
The Gap In Expectations
You Don’t Know What Actual Effort Is Needed
Deliverables Add Up, Any Of Which Can Gate
Who Does What?
• RACI
– Accountable
– Responsible
– Consult
– Inform
Direct Design Transfers
Production equation is known (given)
Structure pre-production support (not a given)
Deliverable paths are well known.
(Note:V&V is very bumpy and you need help)
Choosing Your Mfg Partner(s)
• Welcome to MD&M West.
• I’d like to introduce you to 2,200 partners
that want to take you to the finish line.
Mfg Partner(s) • Get the right partner for new device
introductions
Risk takers/breakers (can handle new)
Portfolio of pre-production prowess
Structure Mfg Partner(s) • Engage early
• Agree on pre-production monetization over time
• Agree that it will be a bumpy path
• Understand your deliverable path
Innovation Cycle Takeaways
1. Get the right people
2. Structure the program for NPD success
3. Create supportive partnerships that
address your needs
Post Discussion Topics • CM vs ODM
• Get the right Requirements
– User Needs -> Product Validation
– Requirements -> Design Verification
– User Needs drive the right requirements
• Predicates: Learn more about them, all the way down
to the labels. Don’t prove what you have to
