FREE online courses on Quality by Design - Design Process - Design Input

 

Design inputs are data and information related to:

 

• Customer needs
• Market requirements
• Regulatory requirements
• Process requirements
• Product requirements

 

Design inputs are generally in the form of:

 

• Product requirement description
• Regulatory and statutory requirements.
• Product description relating to configuration, composition and other design features.

 

All pertinent design inputs related to product performance, functions, material, cost, packaging, environment, safety and regulatory requirements should be defined, reviewed and recorded by the design project leader in a design description document.

 

The design description document provides a unified approach to design.

 

The design description document should identify design aspects, materials and processes requiring development and analysis, including prototype testing to verify their adequacy.  The design description document should be regularly updated with the progress.
