ABSTRACT

A large part of this chapter relates to the embedded development process and service process design. Again, we feel that the automotive approach easily generalizes to most industries.

The process development team (example in Figure 5.1) is comprised of all participants required to develop the production line. These customer and internal requirements include material handling, fault handling, work instructions, test equipment, and floor layout work. Customers may involve themselves in reviews and status meetings for the production line process. The illustration below is by no means definitive or all inclusive. Project demands and customer particulars dictate the staffing requirements. However, the graphic shows a minimum set of needs to fulfill the process requirements.
