s engineering a screw same as requirements gathering for a supplier software? Let us look at it in the following categories
1. Pain: ‘Who has’ or ‘What are’ the major issues:
a. Software: A list of major issues that people who are going to use the software will face.
b. Manufacturing: A list of major issues that will arise by using this screw to join two machines.
2. Interdependencies: Who or What will be affected by each of the issues: Read the rest of this entry »

Let us discover the answer to the above question over many blogs. In the blogs I will outline what is needed when a manufacturer manufactures a screw as compare to software development or selection process for custom or off-the-shelf software. To avoid editing issues I will have two sections Manufacturing and Software.
On the surface the two looks to be the same. Following are high level steps for both:
Manufacturing:
1. Problem Statement: What is the screw need for?
2. Engineering to design screw: Specify material, dimensions, angles and more
3. Forecasting: Forecast the demand of the screw.
4. Costing: Calculate the cost of manufacturing the screw. Read the rest of this entry »
