Validation
Validation
At the beginning of this phase
• a functional prototype has been produced (not debugged)
• a failure analysis has been initiated
• assembly instructions have been documented in O&M manual
At the end of this phase
• experiments testing the prototype have been done
• a tested, debugged prototype has been produced
• verification that prototype meets design specs has been done
• a finalized DFMEA has been produced
• assurance that the product meets customer needs has been obtained
• a final report has been approved
Tools
