- Monitor assembly process and test results
- Monitor Work In Process (WIP) and handling management.
- Monitor QC test results
- Monitor the SCM process and results
- Monitor the 'bone pile' (units that fail the assembly or QC tests) repair and/or disposition; verify the trouble-shooting procedures.
- Monitor customer service and Warranty process
- Monitor Finished Goods Inventory and shipping (FGI) process
- Monitor Out Going Inspection (OGI) process
- Monitor Incoming Inspection (ICI) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) operations for components and procured parts
- Monitor all required production-line regulatory testing
- Monitor hazardous substance compliance (RoHS, etc.)
- Only modifications to the production process, discovered during scale-up, can be reviewed.
- Establish an efficient problem resolution process.
- If the production processes meet requirements, place them under change control.
- If the processes meet requirements, then freeze the PMR and place with the manufacturer.
- Needless-to-say, a very large investment loss would be incurred if the project were to be canceled at the end of this phase.
