Creation of Schematic Diagram

BOM generation

Prototyping the functional blocks Final Integration

Circuit Design


14/22

Selection of Suitable shape

and size, Mechanical drawing

to be designed using CAD/CAM

Material for Housing based

on application requirement.

PCB is finalised accordingly.

This is final PCB which is easy

to assemble.

Packaging &

Printed Circuit Design


15/22

3D plotting / Hand made prototyping

Post mould production for design and function finalisation

Prototyping or Trial Production


16/22

Evaluation of Prototype for

Function

Appearance Built- cost reduction / optimisation

possible enhancements to exceed the original goals even marginally

Design Review

Production line for manufacturing

Testing on Line, Calibration and Final Testing of finished product.

Long term testing of each lot of produce.

Manufacturing Setup including test Setup

Concept

HLDD ( High Level Design Documentation)

Circuit diagrams with functional explanation Schematics and PCB designs

Parts List / BOM with pricing

Sources of procurement

Mechanical Drawings of the Enclosure

Mould usage documentation

Assembly line documentation

Assembly process and Time Lines

Product Packaging ( Cushions etc.. )

Goal is to Document complete Life cycle and

Production process for enabling any EMS

provider to manufacture the product.

Documentation

Agency compliance may be

required by law. For product liability insurance

coverage.

Agency compliance can cost

several thousand dollars peragency

Can add months of time to

accomplish.

It is not to be taken lightly or left

as an afterthought.

Agency Compliance

The manufacturing facility experience,

The product support data,

The user responses,

Follow up

Review for the purpose of steering future designs and marketing.

Don't forget this crucial step on the road to improved quality, value, and often lower cost.

If you can buy something, do not build it or anything similar

without some truly overwhelming justification.

Always make a mock up or model, even if it is cardboard with

hand drawn features. It will pay for itself again and again, and

you will learn something crucial each time you build one.

Sizing up the task

There isGood, Cheap, and Fast.

You can only have two

of the three at any one time.
