DIRECT ANSWERA multi-vendor package needs one interface register for physical connections, signals, utilities, controls, test boundaries and delivery dates. Each interface must have a design owner, supplying side, receiving side and acceptance test.
Interface-register fields
- Connection or signal identity and revision
- Design and supply owners on both sides
- Pressure, size, material, power or protocol
- Test, document and change closure
Relevant manufacturing capability
- Drawing, datasheet and equipment-list manufacturability review
- Self-manufactured and coordinated-supply scope identification
- Technical, quality, document and delivery clarification
Key notes
- Separate purchase orders do not eliminate gaps between vendors.
