Exception conditions Technological limitations, resistance to change within the production team.
Use case name: Ensuring Quality and Compliance in Green Meter Production
Scenario: The Head of Manufacturing is responsible for maintaining the quality and
environmental compliance of all green meters. This is achieved through the
implementation of strict testing procedures, regular audits of the manufacturing
process, and proactive engagement with regulatory authorities to meet compliance
standards.
Triggering event: Product development phase transition to production.
Brief description: The Head of Manufacturing oversees quality assurance to ensure that all green
meters meet the company's high-quality standards and comply with relevant
environmental regulations. This involves setting up rigorous testing protocols,
conducting regular audits of the manufacturing process, and working closely with
regulatory bodies to stay ahead of compliance requirements.
