7.3.3 D & D Outputs
Provide d & d outputs in a form that enables verification against d & d inputs
Approve d & d outputs prior to their release
Prepare design and development output to:
a)meet d & d input requirements
b)provide appropriate information (for purchasing, production, and service)
c)contain or reference product acceptance criteria
d)specify characteristics of the product essential for its safe and proper use
Key Explanation Points and Tips:
ÞD & d output may be product or documentation or both. Product may be prototype or finished product and documentation could be a computerized or hardcopy drawing or specification.
ÞCheck d & d output against the input requirements specified in 7.3.2, before you use it any further. Express product design output in any or all the forms specified in 7.3.3.1.
ÞProvide appropriate d & d output information to:
Þ purchasing (material or service specifications);
Þproduction (product specifications, special characteristics, drawings, diagnostics, etc.);
Þservice (product specifications; performance reliability and maintenance criteria).
ÞInitially, this information may be used for trials and validation, before being firmed up.
ÞMany documents are created from the d & d output stage (drawings, quality plans, work instructions, etc). These documents must be controlled as per clause 4.2.3 of this standard (approval; revision control, distribution, etc).
ÞWhere any sophisticated d & d tools (e.g. AutoCAD) are used requiring specific competency or training, ensure you provide and keep appropriate records of competency and training of personnel performing d & d activities and use of these tools.
7.3.4 D & D Review
Perform systematic review of d & d at suitable stages as per your plan (see 7.3.1) to:
a)Evaluate the ability of d & d results to meet requirements
b)Identify any problems and propose actions
Include representatives of functions concerned with the d & d stages being reviewed
Maintain records of such reviews and any actions arising from them
Key Explanation Points and Tips:
ÞDo design reviews at one or more milestones of the d & d project, depending on customer requirements, the size, complexity and risks involved. The purpose of these reviews is to evaluate results to requirements, check project progress and costs to plan (see 7.3.1) and take actions on any problems encountered.
ÞYou must take a multi-disciplinary approach for doing these reviews and keep appropriate records of issues discussed, actions to be taken, responsibilities and timeline for completion.
ÞAll d & d reviews must be included in your d & d plan.
