Having a clear vision for the product design at the beginning of the project helps all the stakeholders by creating a course of action that can be followed end-to-end. From a quality performance perspective, design project management helps in three different ways. They are –
Quality issues are easier to fix at the design stage rather than rework after manufacturing. This saves on production cost and redesign time.
Having a quality policy document in place right from design phase will give all key stakeholders clarity on what is expected in terms of quality performance
Overall cost of quality(CoQ) reduces when the right design control process is adopted and reduces the chance of product failure.
