Manufacturing Process

Prototype planning: - This is the first step in planning, will create prototype keeping in mind about
the specifications of device the company is creating. As soon as the company create a prototype, they
will test the prototype on the basis of its feasibility.

The Software: - This is designed by a series of features a company want place in their mobile phone,
there are some basic and advance feature that are placed in a mobile phone depending upon the price
and the company creating the mobile device.

Construction and Assembly of mobile phone: - As mobile phone is a complicated device it should
and is created in different pieces. As soon as all the parts are assembled together

Quality Checking and Error Elimination: - A Quality check is done on the device to check if all
the feature and buttons are working after completely assembling the device. This ensure that the
device assembled does not have any error and is okay to send to the customers.

Packaging of the product: - After doing a Quality check the company packs the device with user
manual and accessories.

Delivery of the Order: - After Doing a Quality check of the device the product is launched and the
customers are allowed to place the order for the product, as soon as company receive the order, they
start working on packaging of the order received.

Product Requirement – Mobile Phone

A mobile is a complicated device which contains different items, element
Items need to be procured
Display, Battery, System-on-a-chip, Storage and memory, Camera, Modems, Sensors, Speakers,
Operating System

These items can be procured from Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and from some other
states as well

On an average, a smartphone BOM contains ~40 different categories, around 300-500 key
components and sub-assemblies, and breaking down these further the number gets closer to 2000.
Supplier Selection Planning :- The first step is to Plan the Mobile Designs and Specifications,
which include mobile screen size and type, battery storage, Speaker size and number, sensors and
other things
Once the prototype or a design is made then the company will work on the 2 nd step of the planning
which is material Procurement
The These items can be procured from Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and from some
other states as well

Supplier Selection :- After planning the items need to be procured and selecting the suppliers
the employees will research online to find the best suppliers of the specific component in the market
which are able to fulfil company’s requirement are on company’s expectations

Vendors are found through many different online searches and are most reliable
and renowned vendor is selected among all the vendors who qualify the
company requirement and provide the desirable quantity of material at every
order

BOM Management
Bills of Materials is an entire list of commodities required to manufacture a product. The list includes
raw materials, intermediate assemblies, subparts, sub-assemblies, sub-components, and the quantities
of all these assemblies. The manufacturing of a particular product requires constant effort and time
management. Because of the time management issue, Bills of Materials is often considered as an
unsettling portion.

Manufacturers can structure their Bill of Materials as single-level or multi-level BOMs.

Single Level BOM explain item required to make a simple product from material

Multi-level BOM is the Complex level BOM which include main and sub parts of an item

Typically, a BOM includes:

 BOM level - denotes the part’s hierarchy (parent or child) 3)Search/Send

 Part number
Out bids for
 Part name
 Part quantity vendors
 Part description
 Type or mode of procurement
 Phase - showing the design, approval, or procurement stage of a particular part
