Build Tree
Once plans are integrated up and down the build tree, any changes made
must be communicated to the product designers to ensure that the design
and build processes remain integrated. Manufacturing instructions must
evolve along with the product and process design to ensure that they reflect
the integrated plan. Manufacturing instructions must also be defined to a
level of detail that allows no interpretation in the sequence of tasks nor for
tasks to be done in multiple ways.
The minimum requirement is that there be coordination and optimization of
the manufacturing and product definition processes. The integrated product
and process designs must then be translated into work instructions that
accomplish the plan, provide the information to users in an understandable
and accessible manner and allow no variation to creep into the product due to
interpretation or vagueness. Suppliers who wish to progress beyond these
minimum expectations will gain additional benefits by incorporating lessons
learned from process standardization efforts elsewhere within their factories.
