23 Sep 2025
Scalable Manufacturing
- How can teams design for scalability early to avoid costly next-gen revisions and ensure a repeatable, robust process?
Explore the value of scalable product architecture and minimizing redesigns post-validation. - What role does early-stage validation play in reducing risk and accelerating scale-up readiness?
Discuss the benefits of validating test methods, process capability, and regulatory paths (like 510(k)) early in development. - What challenges arise when transitioning from development to commercial launch, and how can they be proactively addressed?
Focus on cycle time, unit pricing, design transfer, and readiness for commercial-scale production. - How do you identify and mitigate supply chain risks early to ensure repeatability and pricing stability at scale?
Consider supplier selection, materials availability, and risk mitigation strategies during design. - How can automation be leveraged to manage high degrees of process variability and ensure consistent, scalable assembly?
Explore how automating complex or variable steps early in development contributes to repeatability, risk reduction, and commercial readiness.
