Taking a new product from the design stage to large-scale
production in a profitable, efficient manner can challenge the
processes of even the most advanced companies. Lapses in these
processes drive up the cost of new products, and hinder their
launch into the marketplace.

Effective Transition from Design to
Production provides an expeditious roadmap that considers every
phase of production. It identifies customer requirements, discusses
product concept, and covers master scheduling and risk analysis, as
well as design considerations, prototypes, and tooling essentials.
Among other things, it also explains how to identify and augment
facility requirements, initiate production ramp up, evaluate
packaging, and institute defect control.

As the author introduces and explains each stage, he also offers
guidance as to when to involve outside parties including
potential providers of raw materials and subcontractors who may
take part in the production and assembly process. He presents the
seven stages of the production process― system design, detailed
design, manufacturing planning, production readiness, low rate
initial production, and production―in sequential order, examining
how each one leads to the other. This allows readers to not only
grasp the basic concepts crucial for success at each stage, but
also to visualize the big picture so that they can anticipate
problems, eliminate inefficiency, and make informed managerial
decisions.
