Pilot Production: How to Plan and Run a Manufacturing Pilot Before Mass Production

What you'll get

David Willson of Fictiv, a manufacturing marketplace, explains that a pilot run is a limited batch made on production equipment at production settings to prove the process, where a prototype proves the design, and covers what to measure and how to set pass or fail rules before it starts. No lesson on scaling a recipe from kitchen to co-packer turned up, so this one comes from the Manufacturing track; skip its engineering terms and apply the idea to your first co-packer run.
