Design Poise covers the gate between design and production — interface verification, integration test, PRR, documentation, and structured handoff — so the production team inherits a working product, not a project still in progress.
Signal, mechanical, thermal, and software interface verification — ICD-by-ICD, with deviations flagged and closed before integration test starts.
Test envelope, sequence, criteria, and abort conditions documented — so integration test runs to a plan, not to a calendar.
PRR coordination across design, supplier, test, and production readiness — with the gate criteria scored and the gaps registered for closure before launch.
Drawings, specs, test reports, risk register, ECN history, and operating procedures — the package the production team can run on without a Slack channel into engineering.
Structured handoff to manufacturing, operations, and customer teams — design intent transferred, not just files copied.
Four phases that take a readiness engagement from current-state assessment through gap closure and integration test to a documented production handoff — with PRR criteria scored and the production team in the room before they own the product.
Current state of design, supplier, test, and documentation reviewed against PRR gate criteria. Gaps registered, owners assigned, closure dates negotiated against launch.
Each registered gap worked to closure — design issues fixed, supplier deliverables completed, test results obtained, documentation drafted and reviewed.
Integration test plan executed against ICDs and system requirements. Failures investigated, fixed, retested. Test report drafted and reviewed.
PRR conducted, gate cleared, documentation package handed off, and structured knowledge transfer sessions run with manufacturing, operations, and customer teams.
