Hah! It isn't really about the QM, it is about the technology and the engineering knowledge. Your "we" had better have some real engineers in it! You are sounding more and more like a "Product Manager" as we call them out here.
Once all the technologically-required steps are known, we get the Industrial Engineers involved in effective factory design and QC etc. The Product Manager is the guy who BSs the buyers.

Most of them would almost certainly be different from what Dalibor had encountered too. The best option then would be to learn from the quality management systems used by nixie tube factories of the past, and form a good one for ourselves based on our circumstances.

However, given some of the pitfalls of new tube manufacturing that Dalibor has encountered (and mostly solved) then I wouldn't take this project on lightly..... What is your minimum threshold to cover overhead? On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 2:50 AM, Aiden Koh <aidenkoh...@gmail.com> wrote: I'm a product engineer taking on a new project. With current manufacturing methods, I'm able to manufacture In-18/Z568M inspired nixie tubes, at a fraction of their market costs (sub 25 USD/pc). I don't compromise on quality. Hence, it will be built with parts mostly sourced from the US, and have the quality management system ISO-certified. However, due to overhead costs, such a price is only available if the minimum demand for said tubes is reached. Hence I can only commence with the project when I know that there is enough interest. What are your thoughts? Would it interest you if such tubes exist? show your support, and large, affordable nixie tubes may finally be within our grasp! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
