The OPE accomplishes this through two primary avenues. The first is to assist in the design, development, & transition to production of new hardware. This is primarily accomplished by assessing design and manufacturing risk, capability/capacity analysis, Manufacturing Readiness Assessments (MRA) or Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR) and participating in prototype and/or pilot line production.

The second is to provide life‑cycle engineering support to Products/Programs via improved manufacturability, increased yields, rework reduction, DMS and obsolescence mitigation, and/or new capability/technology introduction.
