Design Review Process

Technical Data Packages (TDPs) are essential for sharing the complete set of information needed to manufacture, engineer, and support a product, especially in complex engineering environments. With CoLab, creating TDPs is simple and collaborative

CoLab makes it easy for teams to automatically track and prioritize design review issues. So you spend more time solving and less time searching for them.

With CoLab, engineering teams engage suppliers earlier and more often in the product development process. Let’s see how!

Using CoLab, engineering teams can categorize, sort and analyze design review issues. Two key CoLab features accomplish this: Tags and Insights.

With CoLab, DFM is no longer an afterthought. Teams who use CoLab get better DFM feedback from suppliers faster and more often.

Leaving design review feedback in CoLab is not the painstaking markup process you're used to. See how easy it is to transform the way you do design review.

What if the cost of sifting through emails to find an engineering design decision isn't just costing you a few hours -- it's costing your entire product launch?

Design freeze unfreezes giving your team product development paranoia? A Design Engagement System works with your PLM and CAD systems to ease the madness.

Uncover the efficient way to conduct Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) events in CoLab in our step-by-step guide.

Discover how CoLab can transform your engineering design review process, fostering asynchronous collaboration and streamlining team communication in this comprehensive guide.

One of the best ways to build strong supplier relationships is through a supplier technical review, setting both sides up for success.

This article breaks down some key information about what ISO 9001:2015 means for your design review processes, along with a few best practices your engineering team can follow to keep auditors happy.

The automotive industry is notoriously competitive. Cars are one of the most significant expenses in consumers’ budgets, and price is often at the forefront of a buying decision. This post outlines some areas automotive OEMs can leverage the power of VA/VE to improve their offer to consumers in a highly competitive—and dynamic—landscape.

Whatever the application, CAD files are essential to product design and development but sharing CAD is not always straightforward. In this article, we explain the pros and cons of native vs. neutral CAD formats, when to use 2D vs. 3D files, and what happens when you export CAD to a PDF or TIFF file.
