This book provides guidelines and best practices for the design and development of electromechanical products. It covers the entire product life cycle, from initial concept to design and development, through product support. It is intended for professional engineers, designers, and technical managers. The book provides a gateway into developing a product’s design history file (DHF) and its associated device master record (DMR). These tools enable design engineers to communicate a product’s design, manufacturability, and service procedures with various cross-functional teams.
