There was a recent post at Medical Device Link about the importance of properly transferring technology and products from engineering to manufacturing. Absolutely! To me, “design transfer” is a critical part of the product development process. The product development process has several distinct phases and deliverables. Each phase requires different disciplines and activities. But before the job can be considered done, transfer from engineering to manufacturing must be successful. To quote the Medical Device Link post:
“Technology transfer needs to be a priority, or else you’ll have headaches,†DeCosta said. “It’s not just a technical process. It’s a process you need to monitor, track, and continuously improve.â€Â
