Design quality upstream
Quality Management in New Product Development
Make product risk visible while design decisions can still change it.
A connected NPD quality sequence builds product structure, interfaces and functional logic before DFMEA, optimization, DVP&R and launch.
Design-to-launch traceability
Every design decision leaves an evidence trail.
The operating challenge
Change begins where the system is breaking down.
Quality risk is easiest to influence before drawings and processes harden. The method makes system interactions and design assumptions explicit early.
Documented method
The sequence shown in the system map.
Product structure
Break the product into a visible system tree.
Boundary
Define what is inside and outside the system.
Functions
Capture functions and their relationships.
Interfaces
Map interactions between elements.
Design response
Use the Design Matrix and P-Diagram.
DFMEA
Analyze design failure risk.
Optimize & validate
Convert risk into optimization and DVP&R.
Launch
Carry validated quality into launch.
What changes
Outcomes designed to remain after the engagement.
Programs within the system
Build the capability that makes this service work.
