8. Launch of mass production after final approval

All changes are passed ECN/ECO (Engineering Change Notice/Engineering Change Order)process management. Changes involving interfaces, wireless modules, power supplies, or structures require a re-evaluation of the certification impact.

5. JDM: Joint development for long-term product projects.

Definition of 5.1 JDM

In the ODM mode, you select a configuration from an existing platform; in JDM (Joint Design and Manufacturing)In the model, you work with QUNMAO to define the product roadmap, feature set, and development goals. This model is suitable for brands with internal product/engineering teams and long-term differentiation.

5.2 Typical JDM Cooperation Scope

• Define target users, usage scenarios and application contexts together
• Joint development of PRD, hardware specifications and software function list
• Collaborate on BOM cost analysis, lifecycle planning and supply risk assessment
• Define certification objectives by market
• Co-planning for next-generation product iterations
• Co-invest in exclusive structural designs, software functions, molds or processes

5.3 Intellectual Property and Project Governance

All JDM projects areConfidentiality Agreement (NDA)As a starting point. The ownership of intellectual property rights is usually defined on the basis of the parties' original intellectual property rights (background intellectual property rights) and joint development results (foreground intellectual property rights). QUNMAO supports the clear division of hardware reference design, software framework and joint innovation achievements in the contract to protect the rights and interests of both parties.

• Dedicated project manager and regular joint review meeting
• Milestone-based project governance: requirements → design → prototype → validation → trial production → mass production
• NRE, tooling, certification and software development costs are recognized in writing prior to project initiation

5.4 JDM best for customers

• International brands with existing interactive display product lines
• Educational technology companies with product managers, engineers or software teams
• Regional distributors planning long-term procurement and differentiated product platforms
• Brands of solutions that require next-generation AI, remote management, or vertical industry software integration

CKD and SKD: Support for local assembly and market access

6.1 the importance of local assembly

6.2 SKD model: semi-bulk supply

• QUNMAO provides some pre-installed modules (such as pre-integrated touch panel, embedded system, power supply unit)
• Local partner for final assembly, packaging or configuration
• Technical threshold lower than CKD, easier to implement
• Suitable for dealers or assemblers starting from lightweight localization

6.3 the CKD Model: Deeper Local Manufacturing Engagement

• Products are supplied in the form of more deeply disassembled components
• Customers do a greater proportion of assembly work locally
• Plant equipment, trained personnel, quality inspection and material management skills required
• Suitable for partners with manufacturing experience planning long-term localization

6.4 CKD/SKD support system based on QUNMAO

• CKD/SKD BOM list, packing list and parts code
• Assembly SOP, station layout proposal and key process description
