ABSTRACT
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George S. Patton, Jr.
Design management is a multistep process that is a necessary part of every product development process. Design management consists of the following:
• Design team construction and management • Documentation techniques and requirements • Reporting techniques
All form an integral part of success in developing a product. All are interrelated and interdependent. All will be audited by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Quality System auditors if in industry. All are equally relevant to design in the university setting.
