These past two months have not been slow.\u00a0 I have been researching a lot about the physical side of puzzle.\u00a0 I bought my girls puzzles for Christmas, I have bought puzzles as research, I have spent a lot of time reading.\u00a0 Eventually I found that to be a\u00a0toy “manufacturer” one needed to register with government as a “Small Batch Manufacturer.”<\/p>\n
Talk about overkill.\u00a0 Reading more, it seems that “toys” have their own ASTM and a warm place in the Code of Federal Regulations, or (CFRs).<\/p>\n
So my progress has slowed to a halt.\u00a0 I have actually started developing a ISO9000:2008 QMS system around the R&D it takes to develop a toy.\u00a0 Thus far I have a Controlled Document Procedure, and a Document Template.\u00a0 I used those to create a Quality Manual, which continues to evolve, as I find more information about the regulations of toys.\u00a0 I am now at the process of creating a Requirements Document Template, and a whole Product Realization Procedure around that.<\/p>\n
If all of this sounds like overkill, it might be, but I have brought enough hardware and software products to market, that I know it is much easier to follow a procedure than back into one.<\/p>\n
Today I am at the point where I want to\u00a0set up my issue tracking system.\u00a0 To do this, I need to\u00a0install a bug tracking system and set it up.\u00a0 That will be another post, but I am progressing.\u00a0 My original goal was to be developing\u00a0by 2\/1\/2015, but I think I will have to push that to a 3\/1 start date as the QMS is taking longer than I expected.<\/p>\n
In my next post, I will explain how to setup an issue tracking system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
