5, PM (Project Management) Project Management
The big mobile phone company has perfect and clear division of labor in great detail, such as TPM (Technology Of Project Management), that is the specialized control technology PM, while the ordinary PM, only control the progress of project and coordinate the relations between the departments. Usually, the PM department exist in the big company which has themselves design, production and sales.

6, Sourcing Resources Development
Resource development of staff to have to keep digging new resources, such as new materials, new cell phone components, testing equipment. They must ensure that the production line has all of the production materials, when the phone started trial production.

There is a LRIP(Low Rate Initial Production) before to volume production. It is not only to inspect the hardware / software maturity, but also to inspect the manufacturing technique and production test technology. There are certain models can not pass the last procedure. So the “new” mobile phone will not appear on the market. It is a great loss, because all of the investment of financial and human can not get the payback or return.

7, QA (Quality Assurance) Quality Supervision
QA departments are responsible for quality assurance in the whole process, supervise if the development process to meet the scheduled process, to ensure that the project can be produced.  There are many new projects to be abandoned because the process has no considering the mass production.

The production of a cell phone is not in the laboratory experiments as simple as. It is not an easy thing to ensure the quality of every product when to mass produce. It is completely different things to produce one cell phone sample and to mass produce the 100,000 mobile phones in production line.

For example: all of the food which comes from Chinese restaurant is just samples, and McDonald's is products, so McDonald could have done a lot. But so far, the Chinese restaurant has not yet been achieved as the size of McDonald's, the essential reason is that Mc Donald has a set of rule to stipulate how to make a product, and Chinese restaurant cook just depend on the experience or the feeling to produce a food.

Therefore, all of mobile phone design houses establish a process to prevent the emergence of the design defects.
