This resource is from The University of Bolton topics library. Topics are stand-alone elements of teaching material that are likely to be used in more than one unit, module, or course. This topic is one of several looking at design issues in electronics.
The electronics industry is continually under pressure to maximise profits. To do this, an organisation will strive to reduce development and manufacturing costs and time, produce the best quality products and, therefore, satisfy the customer.
Implementing tools and philosophies to be used during NPI can fulfil these requirements within the NPI process. For the purposes of this study, we will consider three areas that the tools affect:
Quality Engineering Tools. These work throughout various stages to ensure the product is of the best quality.
Product Design Tools. These would be used predominantly during the design functions, to ensure that the right product is specified and designed and to reduce design time and costs.
Manufacturing Tools. These would be used during the manufacturing phases, including process design and prototyping, to reduce manufacturing costs and times.
