The product design team at Mistral has extensive expertise in DFM (Design for Manufacturing). The design process ensures early consideration of manufacturing issues; to shorten product development time, minimize development cost, and ensure a smooth transition into production for quick time-to-market. The team follows a number of design guidelines established to achieve high-quality, low-cost, improved application of automation and better maintainability.
These guidelines include:
- Reduced number of parts to:
- Minimize the chances of a defective part or an assembly error
- Decrease the total cost of fabricating and assembling the product
- Design verifiability into the product and its components to provide a natural test or inspection of the item
- Avoid tight tolerances beyond the capability of the manufacturing processes
- Design robustness into products to compensate for uncertainty in the product's manufacturing, testing and use
- Design modular products to facilitate assembly with building blocks

Mistral has a well defined sourcing process in place, which ensures on-time availability of components during the design life cycle. This is backed by a mature process cycle adhering to the quality norms of CMMi Level 3 and ISO 9001; making its services highly reliable and cost-effective, thereby offering faster turnaround.
