Manufacturability {#12} influences:

  • Quality and reliability
  • Selection and management of suppliers and production facility
  • Manufacturing and test methodologies, equipment, tools
  • Components and material selection, design, architecture
  • Product Testing and validation
  • Regulatory and standards requirements
  • Quality issues
  • Documentation
  • Waste, QC hindrances
  • End-of-Life requirements and procedures
  • For example, if a product has a high level of component failure, because of poor component selection, then manufacturing costs grow.

Reliability {#8} influences:

  • Supplier and production facility selection
  • Component and material selection and design
  • General product risks, market selection and user type
  • Quality considerations
  • Standards and regulatory requirements
  • Validation testing
  • Service and support, inspections, maintenance
  • Liability (legal) exposure, good will
  • Waste and hazardous materials, legal issues
  • For example, if claimed reliability is not met then good will is damaged and even legal pressure can be felt.
