Moving a Design into Production

With the help of the practical, hands-on approach of this book, engineers and managers can master the skills required to move their key designs into production confidently and efficiently. In particular, they will learn new techniques developed at AT&T for protecting against the many types of flaws that might jeopardize a project. Using Department of Defence templates as procedural guides, the book outlines reliable methods of parts selection and control and describes the goals and practices of strategic manufacturing planning. There is information on a full range of computer-aided technology that can enhance the design-to-production process, as well as guidance on overseeing the work of subcontractors. This working tool also features material on the use of special test equipment, modernization methods, and productivity.
