We're heading into pilot production, where some initial parts might be made.

We've got to finish those design specs and engineering drawings!

• Manufacturing wants to start cutting steel for molds. 
• Suppliers want to work out the specs on their end. 
• QA is asking what they should inspect.

Before you pass it along, have you identified what features are critical? Does it align with managing risk? And are you communicating that effectively on your specs and drawings?

Creating design specs is an important part of engineering design. We review a way to choose critical design features, based on risk.
