1、M-gates,What is M-Gates and what makes it crucial to our future? M-Gates (Motorola Gates) is essentially the lifecycle of a Motorola product, from the original idea through its end-of-life. It provides a framework for design, testing, manufacturing, and marketing Motorola products, ensuring consiste

Ray Sokola (Chief Technology Officer),The M-Gates,M-Gates have been designed to provide Motorola with a clear, unified approach to coordinating functions and enhancing communications related to the process of market and product line planning with system and product dev

At the end of each gate, reviews are held with the core team or with the Senior Management Team to go over the project statu

It is an ePM (Engineering Program Manager) deliverable used to show: which deliverables are required in which phase the status and location of each deliverable how each project is following M-Gates Which phase/Gate

All of the external and interna

7、usiness Case Phase,This phase creates business cases for opportunities using members from the cross functional teams. Once a high-level business case is approved, more detailed business cases are developed. These business cases : pursue a more in-depth analysis on the opportunity and include custome
8、r feedback, technical feasibility, standards alignment, full financial analysis, and roadmap.,M-Gates 12-11Portfolio Planning Phase,Also known as Prioritization and Resource Allocation phase, is composed of two activities: The first one focuses on a solution defined by a business case and associated
9、 roadmap. The second one focuses on the marketing requirements for a specific solution. Portfolio Planning encompasses bringing in a specific opportunity into a formal gate decision as well as managing the portfolio on an ongoing basis.,M-Gates 10-7Project Definition Phase,The Project Definition pha
10、se focuses on the development of detailed requirements for the system as a whole. These requirements include sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, services & after sales support, marketing communication, channel distribution, technology, architecture, test strategies, and platform strategies. This
11、phase culminates in the approval (or disapproval) of a contract book which represents an internal contract to ourselves and describes what we will deliver to the customer.,M-Gates 6-3Implementation Phase,During this phase, the project team completes any further elaboration/allocation of requirements
12、 and declares Design Readiness (Gate 6). The team then designs, implements, and tests the subsystem according to its own development techniques. Once satisfied with subsystem integration and test, a project business review declares System Test Readiness (Gate 5). The system, product or platform is t
13、hen validated and verified according to the allocated requirements. Validation ensures that the system requirements are a valid representation of the desired system attributes, behavior, and performance. Verification proves that the implemented system satisfies the validated system requirements.,M-G

Field tests are conducted and modifications made where necessary. Manufacturing determines its m

A project business review is conducted and the project is Ready for Controlled Introduction (Gate 3).,M-Gates 2-0Launch and Closeout Phase,Launch and Closeout focuses on the volume deployment of th
16、e opportunity and the formal retirement and decision management. For volume deployment, the controlled introduction and manufacturing ramp-up execution are analyzed for volume deployment and all launch, manufacturing and support/service functions are ready. MPP (Marketing and Product Line Planning) plays a key role in the retirement of an opportunity as the triggers for retirement activation are monitored through the portfolio as a whole. Not that retirement may not only come after
