Hardware Product Development Flow: Prototype to Mass Production
Drawing preview
The scenario

A hardware team moves a new product from concept through engineering validation, design freeze, pilot production, and regulatory certification before committing to mass production.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Prototype passes EVT tests?

02

DVT units meet specifications?

03

Pilot units meet quality and yield targets?

04

Regulatory certification obtained?

Use this flow for hardware products that require staged validation, tooling, pilot builds, and compliance before volume manufacturing.
