Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 996 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Product Design Specification improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 996 standard requirements:

  1. Does your enterprise primarily offer products and services that are designed specifically for each customer, or do you offer products and services in a similar way for a larger number of customers?

  2. Do your purchase orders for materials and products provide specifications or other data in the detail necessary to ensure procurement which meet the requirements of the design data?

  3. When developing a product for a target group that consists of users with specific well defined needs and requirements, would the extreme character method still be suitable?

  4. Has clear direction with specific goals been provided to employees about the product requirements along with information needed to design and manage the work?

  5. Are clear lines of responsibility laid down for product development, and is it clear who is ultimately responsible for different types of product development?

  6. Which is a set of technical guidelines that may be applied during the design of a product for the optimization of a specific aspect of the design?

  7. Does the product change represent a substitution for an existing product or model, or an addition to your organizations total product/model range?

  8. Does the process, when run under nominal settings and under normal operating conditions, produce product that consistently meets specifications?

  9. Did you assess readiness of potential new technology / modified technology for use in the products systems, assembles, modules and components?

  10. How do you design production lines so that a small change in a product specification no longer shuts down an entire line for several hours?
