TGFR Consulting LLC The development the product begins with the deployment of the design inputs to the subsystems. The following table describes the inputs and outputs of Deployment Process
| Inputs | Key Activities | Outputs |
|---|---|---|
| Use Cases Workflows, both primary and secondary System Architecture The subsystem partitioning as defined in the system design inputs. This should include the preliminary mapping used during the concept elaboration System Requirements The requirements from concept elaboration, including the essential requirements from the risk analysis Interface Requirements Details of the internal and external requirements Manufacturing Capability Characterization of capacity, measurement systems and process capability | Assessing Process Capability The characterization the measurement system (gage R&R) against Performance Requirements and CTQs, focused on understanding the ability to meet the requirements Design Worksheet Development The analysis of the requirements, identifying those requirements that require a transfer function Transfer System Deployment Develop transfer functions from results of the Design worksheet development | System Transfer Functions For those performance requirements with complex relationships, the details of the transfer function. Workflow Diagrams For those functional requirements with complex relationships, the details of the workflow and subsystem interactions. Design Worksheet The details of how the system design inputs and subsystem requirements interrelate Subsystem Requirements The subsystem requirements N2 Chart The interactions between the subsystems |
A capability analysis of the manufacturing process and the ability of manufacturing to meet the various performance requirements initiates the process. This analysis drives how the subsystem deployment proceeds and may lead to revision of the requirements.
Following confirmation that the manufacturing process can deliver on the requirements, the process focuses on how the requirements distribute between subsystems. During distribution of requirements, design worksheets and transfer functions are developed in places where the deployment of the requirements creates interactions between the subsystems. This may be formulas, design documents or, for functional requirements, workflow diagrams detailing the interactions between the subsystems
During deployment, it may be necessary to revisit and update design inputs, and deployment ensures that this happens well before the realization. This lowers the cost and the associated rework of the process.
At the end of the process, the design worksheet, transfer functions and workflows serve as inputs to the final transfer function deployment. Here the subsystem requirements are reconciled across the design worksheet and the final allocation of tolerances across the subsystems locked down. The transfer functions, subsystem requirements and design worksheet form the basis for the system realization.
The workflow is shown in the following figure
