Learning with Leo: Why Risk-based Auditing Is Reshaping Cable Assembly Quality
04/01/2026 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoEffective product development requires early and active participation from all stakeholders. The design process must include input from supply chain, manufacturing engineering, purchasing, quality, and production. A design cannot be considered complete until it has been evaluated against the full manufacturing process, whether executed by an OEM or a subcontractor. Without this collaboration, designs are often released that are not manufacturable in real-world conditions.
