Collected role description
1. BOM Review & RFQ Initiation · Review the prototype BOM received from the Product Design (R&D) Team. · Identify parts requiring development and send RFQs to short listed prototype suppliers. · Obtain cost and timeline quotes for parts, tooling (if applicable), and any special processes. · Evaluate and compare supplier quotations; submit for review to HOD / SCM teams. · Discuss feasibility points with suppliers and conclude jointly with the R&D team. · Finalize supplier and submit cost inputs to the relevant stakeholders for approval. 2. Supplier Identification and Feasibility Analysis · Identify suitable prototype part suppliers based on capability, lead time, and past experience. · Share design drawings and receive supplier feedback on manufacturability (DFM), material availability, and process capabilities. · Assess feasibility for quick development, including any special process or machining needs. · Evaluate supplier readiness for prototype timeline adherence and flexibility in iterations. · Get supplier alignment and freeze development plan with R&D / SCM. 3. Prototype Tooling (if required) and Part Development · Coordinate PR release and share all commercial and technical inputs with Purchase / SCM for PO issuance. · If tooling is involved, track tool manufacturing progress as per the development plan. · Visit toolmakers and/or part suppliers to monitor progress and provide support for resolving technical challenges. · Ensure tool trials and part development are aligned with design intent and project timelines. · Conduct sample inspections and coordinate with R&D for part evaluation, fitment trials, and feedback resolution. · Update and maintain records of part modifications and development iterations for traceability. 4. Prototype Part Quality Review & Approval · Organize dimensional inspection and visual quality checks of the prototype parts. · Prepare and submit sample inspection reports along with parts to the R&D and QA teams. · Coordinate with QA and R&D for feedback on fitment, function, or any deviation. · Implement corrective actions, if needed, and re-develop or modify the parts accordingly. · Once approved, ensure documentation of part version, deviation reports, and design compliance. 5. Pre-Production Handover & Lessons Learned · Support limited batch build or field trial with approved prototype parts. · Share build feedback with the R&D, Quality, and Process Engineering teams. · Document learnings from prototype development including part behavior, process challenges, and improvement suggestions for mass production transition. · Participate in design review and DFM/ DFA feedback loops to enhance future designs and manufacturability. 6. Additional Responsibilities · Maintain close coordination with cross-functional teams (PM, R&D, SCM and QA). · Ensure adherence to project timelines, technical accuracy, and cost targets for prototype parts. · Support internal build schedules and ensure timely delivery of prototype parts for testing and validation phases. · Contribute actively to continuous improvement in prototype development processes.
