I'm reacting to a claim that 820.30 "fundamentally and specifically demands that the responsible organization not only design the product, but also the manufacturing process."
There are really several claims here, all of which are news to me:
1. That 820.30 dictates who has to do the design work.
2. That it requires that the same organization that designed the product also design the manufacturing process. (Do you design a manufacturing process?)
3. That it is applicable to the manufacturing process.
All of this is outside my own scope of expertise. Nonetheless, I was very surprised to hear this, and wondered if some of the Covers who are experienced in this area could shed some light.
