From Prototype to Production: 5 Key Risks to Manage

The jump from a working prototype to stable mass production is where many projects stumble.

Five risks to manage

  • Design that is not optimised for manufacturability (DFM)
  • Tolerances that drift at volume
  • Unvalidated suppliers and materials
  • Missing or late certification
  • No pilot run before scale-up

Each risk is far cheaper to address during design than after tooling is committed. A disciplined pilot stage is the single best insurance against costly surprises.
