The document provides an overview of the product lifecycle management (PLM) process for startups and makers, with a focus on the engineering verification test (EVT) phase. It discusses key considerations for EVT including layout, power and grounding, thermal management, and simulation. The document emphasizes adapting the traditional PLM model to the spontaneity of startups by adding an initial proof of concept phase before the formal EVT. It also stresses validating market fit and ensuring the identified pain point is one customers truly experience before proceeding with development.

5. PLM Introduction & Design Phase Definition - EVT
Design Phase Definition
• EVT : Engineering Verification Test
• Purpose :
• Design the engineering sample, prototype, and verify all the functions to meet
product specification.
• Generate draft product BOM – E/E & ME BOM
• Pre-Scan
• Task :
• ID : Complete exterior design, color & material plan
• ME: Design & verify housing design with PCBA in structure, thermal & manufacturing
method
• EE: Design circuit, PCB and verify hardware performance & mechanical housing design with
ME
• FW & SW:
• Complete the FW & SW to test all hardware functions without fatal errors
• Complete the requirement of first release version

The most important elements of project
– Resource、Cost & Schedule
• Resource
• R&D
• Support Team – NPI, Procurement, SQA……
• Schedule
• Cost
• Development Cost
• Product Cost
• BOM cost – Determined at EVT
• Manufacture Cost – Determined at NPI

• What pain do you solve?
• Applicability
• Emotion
• Does the pain you think is really the pain they suffer ?
( Don’t CREATE a need just because you make a product ! )
• Who is your TA (Target Audience)
• Why they are your TA?
• What is the TAM? ( Total Available Market) and
is it a big or a niche market?
• C/P ( Cost-Performance Ratio )
• Cost is not an issue but C/P is an issue

14. EVT 階段幾個重要因素
• Layout
Layout 是EVT階段最重要的因素.
• 電源和地
• 溝渠理論: 電源就如同乾淨的水源流入系統,此水源經過系統後將一些
髒的訊號借由地來排除。
• 盡量減少接地迴路
• 各區塊地對大地的阻抗值越低, 抗雜訊力越好
• 雜訊越大的地離大地的路徑越短越好
• 地越完整越好, 不要零零散散的
