Design Transfer is the process of handing off the new product from the design team to the manufacturing/base business team. In my company the design team (along with the manufacturing team) will continue to support a product after launch until the product meets certain criteria for stability. This way if there are issues with the product the design team is still engaged to be able to solve those problems. We have found the first 3 to 6 months after product launch a lot of unexpected problems can arise. This is often due to the ramping up of production to meet the increasing sales demands. What are some other important aspects for consideration during design transfer and handing off the product?
