Hi,
I agree with the above discussion, following are the problem during design transfer.
1. The workflow of the manufacturing organization is disrupted by having to wait for released materials, procedures, and test fixtures.
2.The purchasing department does not have enough time to identify and approve new vendors, verify component specifications, and update the manufacturing planning system.
3.The design transfer process is well understood by both parties, but the inability to plan the transition of a product design into a controlled manufacturing environment results in slow starts and unacceptable delays.
Failure to appreciate these challenges inevitably leads to unnecessary project delays, frustration, and misunderstandings between the developer and manufacturer.
