Particular requirements for logic symbol design, geometries, and part characteristics must be accurately defined. In addition, geometries in the library must be built to standards that reflect process tolerances for fabrication, assembly, and test. While some form of a library specification typically exists in a company, such requirements may not be well documented or widely known. In the absence of knowledgeable library personnel and specifications, there is no stable framework of procedures for part development, verification, and release. An inadequate library data management system can cause significant delays during the release of schematics to CAD layout, and CAD to manufacturing release.
Archived data becomes difficult to restore into the design environment for required changes.
Intercept's Consulting team can help you to define and document a stable set of detailed library standards to ensure product integrity. Engineering consulting can perform an electronic verification of a company's library system to determine whether released parts are compatible with production requirements. Methods can be implemented that automatically inform project teams when central library data used in designs changes, and enable product teams to adopt such changes with discretion. Define the library procedures and establishment of a system to measure library quality indicators. Manufacturing Data Management Companies need strict guidelines that govern design requirements for fabrication, assembly, and test.
