ABSTRACT
The design inputs are the requirements governing the design of the intended product or service. The design inputs are the requirements governing the design of the intended product or service. Functional requirements are those related to actions that product or service is required to perform or exhibit with or without external stimulus. Performance requirements relate to the results produced or behaviours exhibited under stated conditions. The organization may wish to maintain a certain profile or reputation through its designs and therefore may impose requirements that may impact the design input requirements. The determination of design inputs results in information that needs to be reviewed prior to its release; otherwise, incorrect information may enter the design process. Documented information on design and development inputs needs to be maintained to ensure effective communication of requirements to those involved in the design and development process.
