Common Issues

• Late discovery of blocking issues (interfaces, etc.)
• Last-minute changes with high costs & little control. Compromised environment that will remain for years.
• Unnecessary complexity and costs.

Common Causes

• Industrialisation planned in isolation.
• Performed by suppliers to their advantage.

Solutions

Civil, Facilities, MP&L to be involved during process definition:

Feasibility studies & simulations to validate concepts.

Product specifications & constrains (environment, GD&T, manipulation requirements) as guide for manufacturing environment and equipment performance.

Product development to be challenged, via DFM/DFA, by Industrial constraints (feasibility, cost, flexibility, readiness level).

Process Engineering partner to lead industrialisation activity:

RFQ package, layout, assembly hall in collaboration with industrialisation actors and toolmakers/installers.

Dimensional Quality supports industrialisation guidelines.
