Are you looking to design a product for mass production? If so, it’s important that you take into account all the key considerations before getting started. With the right preparations and planning in place, your product can have an efficient and cost-effective journey from prototype to bulk production.
Read MoreThe product development cycle is a complex process that involves several stages, from ideation and prototyping to manufacturing and distribution. At each stage, there are specific challenges that need to be addressed, and design for manufacturing (DFM) is one of them.
DFM is the process of designing a product with the goal of optimizing its manufacturability. The idea is to create a design that can be easily manufactured at scale while minimizing costs and maintaining quality.
Read MoreLearn how Design for Assembly and Design for Manufacturing can help cut costs, reduce material and labor costs, optimize production workflows, and more.
Read MoreRoutine audits are critical to ensure quality and compliance on products or systems across a network of suppliers and partners. No matter the audit type, it is important to understand the roles within the manufacturing supply chain and to drill down on processes used, especially in the use of contract manufacturing. Every audit is different, but the broader goal is to verify and evaluate what is in place and used by your contract manufacturer. Your audit should identify the strengths and weaknesses of your contract manufacturer. Below you’ll find basic guidance for performing a contract manufacturing audit that will help you achieve quality and compliant manufacturing outcomes.
