Propuesta metodológica para el desarrollo de productos electrónicos en Colombia

Abstract

This work describes a methodological proposal for electronic product development. The proposed methodology corresponds to an adaptation of reference models for electronic product development into technology-based companies, in alignment to the reality of the Colombian electronics industry and its electronic product development process. The proposal includes five main interrelated phases: 1) initial system diagnosis, 2) system specification, 3) system development, 4) system validation, and 5) technical management. In the system validation phase, the performance of electrical safety tests and basic electromagnetic compatibility tests (immunity to conducted disturbances and radiated emissions) are included as the main innovative items. The present work also incorporates a phase for initial diagnosis of the system, device, or product in order to obtain the starting characterization and the actual working state. This phase is assessed in response to the needs of the Colombian electronic industry.
