DESIGN PHASES

In the design phase, engineering will then generate a design based on the requirements document. Certification testing FCC: Foment of Construction and Contractor CE: CE marking CSA and UL

Any changes to the design required to correct any design deficiencies will then be made, and the product will be resubmitted until it passes.

The final step in the design process is to generate any collateral material required for the sale of the product. This material typically includes testing procedures and fixtures, users manuals, documentation for both the production and support groups, and any packaging or shipping containers.

Once the design phase is complete, initial production begins. In this phase, the production group works with engineering to determine the most cost-effective method to produce the design.

PRODUCTION

Once the design has reached the end of its production, the product enters the end-of-life phase of its product life. This could be due to either the obsolescence of key components, low profitability due to less- expensive competition, or the disappearance of its target market.

In the design phase of the life cycle, engineering is charged with the development and test of the product. They have the preliminary software design and the estimates for the remaining work. The preliminary design for the hardware is also finished, with its estimates for completion and testing
