It includes the definition of product models as well as the definition of characteristics of product specifications. Interim inspection plans and requirements for production equipment can be defined for validation of the prototype result and later sample production. These data can be adjusted continuously based on production process optimization and are required to analyze potential production problems pro-actively.

The establishment of the physical production environment must ensure the availabiltiy of qualified and capable human and machine resources in time. Necessary sample master data for production, logistics, financials, such as product, resources, bill of material, production model, logistics model, quality inspection plans, and so on, must be prepared as a prerequisite for sample production. Purchasing of necessary supplier components and tracking of purchasing related activities is also included.

By structuring and following a plan, the product is more likely to meet quality standards, reduce expensive change orders and re-specification delays, accelerate the product introduction, and reduce risk to the company. This solves the need for a controlled process for product introduction that will be made either in-house or by a 3rd party. Scenario/Processes Business Value Scenario Flow Further Information
