Industrialization Engineering is the area responsible for transforming a developed product into something ready to be produced on a scale, with quality, repeatability, and efficiency.
It acts as a bridge between R&D, production, quality, purchasing, and testing, ensuring that the product is industrialized in a feasible, testable, and documented manner, with all necessary technical resources.
Without good industrialization, a good product can fail in mass production.
🧩 Main Responsibilities of Industrialization Engineering
| Area | Typical Activities |
|---|---|
| Process Validation | Definition of flows, times, production capacity |
| Technical Documentation | Work instructions, control plans, BOM, drawings |
| Testability (DFT) | Integration of tests from the design, measurement points, EEPROM |
| Interface with Production | Operator training, line layout, integration with test benches and test jigs |
| Traceability | Product identification, firmware, serial number, calibration |
| Pilot Batch Release | Technical support in the first batches, process and fixture adjustments |
