I’m back once more to share with you my final blog post on DAMA – Design Anywhere, Manufacture Anywhere – and its impact on Electronics design. This time I want to talk to you more about the realities of implementing this approach starting with the initial audit process and understanding the real payback. Creating a [...]
This week in my series of posts looking at the topic of DAMA I’m going to focus on enterprise information structures, then challenges at the engineering and manufacturing level. Don’t forget to read up on part 1 and part 2…
After introducing the concept of Design Anywhere, Manufacture Anywhere, (DAMA) within the context of PLM last week, today I want to focus on other factors such as mergers and acquisitions, information sharing and component obsolescence.
DAMA, Design Anywhere Manufacture Anyway is one of those buzz words/phrases that can mean so much – but really what’s behind this grand name? And more to the point what implications does it have on the electrical design process?
After having looked at how electrical engineers can impact the product development process by working with sales and systems engineering in the last two posts in this series, now I’m going to move onto testing and manufacturing. Testing You might be lucky enough to be in a large organisation that has a dedicated test department, [...]
This is the second in my posts which talk about how electrical engineers can make a bigger impact on the product development process. Previously I focused on getting involved in the sales bidding and specification process, in part two I’m going to focus on systems engineering. photo credit: perhapstoopink Systems Engineering The systems engineering or [...]
Many of us discuss cross discipline communication and the need for effective information sharing and team working. We may moan and groan that one department does not tell another what part of the process they are working on. I’m sure you will recognise the situation. But my own personal experience has taught me that it’s [...]
