Put the Product into a Capable Process

Transfer to Manufacturing has to be considered throughout the design of your products.

OG-Consultant may help and provide experience and skills during these stages.

Regulations

ISO 9001, ISO 13484, FDA, GmPs

All these regulations have an impact on the transfer to manufacturing process. 

Architecture review

Production requirements and value may be considered from the system level design reviews. The very concept and architecture of the product are directly linked to the throughput and industrial capability of your industrial processes.

Detailed drawing reviews

Pair Reviews or detailed drawing design reviews may take place in a cross-functional review, with an engineer, a manufacturing engineer, a qualitician and/or a technical buyer.

It is also possible to conduct these reviews with the help of the supplier that is likely to manufacture the parts.

This is the very last moment to see if all possible equivalences are listed on specifications (Obsolescence Management).

All this ensures that component part specifications can be achieved with the modern fabrication technologies available, and sourced on the market.

It also guarantees high-quality drawings to your Purchasing activity.

Assembly Procedures

Mature step-by-step assembly procedures are crucial to guarantee the capability of the process, and answer FDA requirements.

Actually, assembly procedures are on the critical path to manufacture, and suffer from delayed primary part drawings and constant changes. Managing these tasks requires experience and efficiency.

The idea is to be able to prioritize the release of the primary parts specifications and be involved in problem reports and expected evolutions, in order to avoid assembly documents requiring to be updated too often.

Release Process

The release process starts with the drawings validation and codification in the ERP. During the release of these drawings,the production configuration is built, which includes creating the production nomenclature.

The codification phase and the bijection between product configuration and production configuration are very important since they result from both production implementation and Make or Buy strategy.

The production configuration is required to use your ERP as an efficient tool for your procurement activities.

Achieve Complete Coordination

Coordination is the key success factor for a smooth and on-time release. To ensure on-time delivery, OG-Consultant can help you develop a proper coordination between:

• - Manufacturing management
• - Purchasing Management and Logistics
• - ERP and Configuration Management
  - Tooling and Benches
