Q

When a product is going to be made, discuss what you will need and do.

A

When you going to MAKE a product you will need the final design and resoursce list (list of materials)

  1. Make detailed drawings
  2. A manufacturing Sequence will be made:
  • This is a series of actions that must happen in a specific sequens for the product to be made.
  • Here you will see what materials, tools and people you will need to make the product
