  • It is important to note that manufacturing plays a critical role in the design control process. As development completes a project with design controls, manufacturing is managing design controls in parallel to determine how to implement the designs into production. Manufacturing plays an essential roles during this period when transferring designs over to production. With the resources and testing determined by manufacturing, production is better prepared in meeting the demands of a launched product. However, an unexpected customer demand after a product launches can completely disrupt the success of production. Production are given specific resources and requirements to meet, but an unexpected growth in customer demand will not have production prepared to meet the new demand.
