• Draw from the MRD all information that determines and effects the technical aspects of the product {1, 2, 3, 14, 16}
• Determine need for DfX (Design for Everything); e.g., Design for: Assembly (DfA), Manufacturing (DfM), Safety (DfS), Environment (DfE), etc. {3, 5, 12, 13, 14, 16}
• Research interfaces, compatibilities, etc. {2, 14}
• Determine which parts are to be common, OTS and standard (availability) {2, 3, 12, 16}
• Determine standards required: industrial, legal, safety, environmental, Testing {2, 4, 5, 6, 13, 16}
• Configure appropriate customizations required, as well as, standardizations to effect future upgrades, planed cost reductions, etc. {1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 16}
• Develop verification and validation tests {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 16}
• Outline total testing regime (The Realms of Testing...throughout a product's life-cycle) {1, 4, 16}
• Generate the PRS to include all the requirements and tests (above – and others, especially Industrial design and usability aspects needed to design the product and verify that the product was correctly designed) {1, 4, 16}

Translate the PRS requirements into selected technology.

• Research and use Judicious choice of odd, rare, old, untested, non-validated or unusual components – risk involved {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16}
•  "Designing in quality and reliability" to avoid potential costly defects, errors, rework, scrap, procurement of replacement materials, factory/machine capacity degradation, re-qualifications/re-certifications costs, and overhead demands
  (See: Quality vs. Reliability from a Product Development point-of-view) {2, 4, 7, 8, 9}
• Optimize placement, mounting, etc. tolerances {4, 7, 8, 9, 12, 16}
• Minimize product, equipment calibrations {4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 16}
