Life Cycle Test Fixture
Market Sector: Medical
Description and Scope of Project
A life cycle test fixture designed to test multiple features on one medical device. Test attributes such as stroke, pressure, revolutions, and failure points could be monitored and controlled via software/laptop. We were contracted to design and build the first prototype unit. After verifying the device, it was launched into a low volume production program. Our New Product Introduction (NPI) managed the transition to market, including all supply chain requirements, pilot validation and documentation control.
Results and Project Value
The life cycle test fixture was developed within a very aggressive schedule and has been manufactured in low volumes 8% below the estimated Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) plan due to the DFMA.
