full-blown production system. Skilled workers with
technologically advanced equipment to assemble
and test units

GO I GPS
Strict deadline had been set for Launch before CES
(Consumer Electronics Show)
Bill of material after the prototypes made
Volume purchases of common electronic component
to cut costs
Lack of common parts and less expensive
