Fabrication

Definition

Fabrication is the implementation task during which hardware components are fabricated.

Objectives

The typical objectives of fabrication are to:

• Produce high-quality hardware components for integration into an application.

Preconditions

Fabrication can typically begin when the following preconditions hold:

• The relevant requirements are specified.
• The relevant architecture has been documented.

Completion Criteria

Fabrication is typically complete when the following postconditions hold:

• All hardware components have been fabricated and are ready for integration.

Steps

Fabrication typically involves the design team performing the following steps:

• TBD

Techniques

Fabrication typically can be performed using the following techniques:

• TBD

Work Products

Fabrication typically results in the production of the following work products:

• Hardware components.

Guidelines

• Most hardware components are typically acquired. Typically, only special-purpose hardwarwe is fabricated as part of a development effort.
