Pilot manufacturing is a collaborative effort between Development/Engineering, Purchasing and Manufacturing. While design-for-manufacturability may have been used during final design, this stage represents the transfer from Development/Engineering to Manufacturing. Vendors and Manufacturing are tooling up to produce parts. When the pilot manufacturing stage is complete Manufacturing is expected to have completed all production and testing documentation (standard operating procedures).

Pilot run production prototypes are sent to field-test sites. The purpose of this test is find problems. These problems may include quality issues, durability, functionality, installation, etc. Hopefully none are found, but if we were 100% confident of this, then field-testing wouldn’t be needed. Some organizations have separate Field-Test groups. Often field testing may be done by Technical Service teams or can be managed by Development/Engineering.

Here’s a list of things to check out when purchasing baby gates: Installation. Baby gates come in two kinds: pressure-mounted and hardware-mounted. The first kind stays in place by a locking device that does not require drilling into the door frame or other parts of the house. From its name, it is kept in place by having the bars exert some pressure against the door frames or walls where it is to be mounted. On the other hand, the hardware-mounted type, from its name alone suggests drilling into the part of the house where it is to be mounted. It is kept in place by screws.

The story in The Fifth Gate might be slightly cheesy (a magical nymph who is able to kidnap people needing help with a garden?), but the gameplay is refreshingly fun and innovative. The game requires a mix of fast reflexes, strategic planning and the ability to make lightning-fast decisions on which action will provide the most benefits. Its unique features make it quite different from most of the time management games out there.

Lean is a Process Improvement Tool to reduce waste in organizations. Few processes cross over as many different departments in a company as product development. Product development can include hard-goods, software or new services. As the efforts cross marketing, research, engineering, purchasing, operations and sales there are numerous opportunities for the product development effort to stall or reverse direction. This can be due budget problems becoming visible; product definition being rushed and/or the operational problems.
