As part of the overall systems engineering process manufacturing must be integrated into the design process to?

ensure that products are both manufacturable and cost-effective. By incorporating manufacturing considerations early in the design phase, teams can identify potential production challenges, optimize material use, and streamline assembly processes. This integration fosters collaboration between engineering and manufacturing teams, ultimately enhancing product quality and reducing time-to-market. Additionally, it helps align design objectives with manufacturing capabilities, leading to more efficient operations and improved overall system performance.
