    I agree with most of the challenges mentioned above by my classmates. However I have to point out that the main two challenges(In my opinion) should be safety issues and communication problems between all the departments working on the device. 2 years ago, I did a summer internship that dealt with electric installations throughout multiple parts of the country,some of the coworkers told me a story about how the company that produced the product had some issues in the 1990’s when a worker tried to clean a machine while the machine was still working. The final result was that the worker lost his hand due to safety issues.

    The second issue is communication. The project manager needs to make sure that all the departments are on the same boat. This means that everyone knows what they have to do. The coworkers that conduct the machinery producing the product should always evaluate it in order to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. How do they know if it is right or not? Well, that information you obtain it by talking to the project manager, meaning be on the same boat because you will either sink together or reach success together.
