General Needs Assessment
Our RM needs include SW, HW and System/Technology development
SW-centric needs focus on textualtargets, test validation and traceability
HW-centric and system needs similarly include textual targets, test validation and traceability
HW-centric and system needs, however, are driven much deeper by the PDP and TDP
To support TDP/PDP deliverables and execution, RM tools mustbe able to handle:
Quantitativestorage and analysis of targets, design predictions and process capability
Computational linkagesand traceability throughout core PDP steps and data, includingVOC/VOB/BOT/VOR, Market Reqs, Product Specs, Critical Parameters, Cost Targets, CostEstimates and Actual Costs, Faults, Mitigations, Controls, and Validation/Verification Tests
HW and system-centric RM needs are driven by the broader goal toachieve lean execution of detailed TDP/PDP steps and deliverables
Market data analysis (Segmentation, KJ, etc.)
VOC/VOB/VOT/VOR assessment and prioritization
Critical Parameter identification through HOQ and Hazard Analyses
Design Concept Exploration and Selection (Pugh/Kano)
System Tree / Functional Tree / Risk Tree Creation and Linkage
