Abstract
After a product has been developed to the point that it is ready for mass produc tion, it is transferred to the manufacturing group. Formal transfer to a manufacturing department entails a number of steps, including the transfer of manufacturing documents prepared by product development personnel, and assistance from the product development group during at least the first three production runs to help smooth out the procedural problems that are almost always encountered during the transfer process. The importance of constant communication between members of both the product development and manufacturing groups during the product transfer event, and thereafter as well, cannot be under stated. Good communications reduces the costs associated with improperly executed production runs and assures optimal per formance by manufacturing personnel.
