One significant challenge to Design transfer is that the design transfer may be understood well by all parties, but there may be a lack of planning how to transfer the product design into a controlled manufacturing environment. This can be a significant problem as there may be multiple delays in the process. Another notable challenge is that the operations within an organization can be disrupted or halted because new procedures and materials have yet to be disseminated to members of the workforce. The effect of this can be detrimental because if the workforce is waiting for the new procedures. If workers are not able to perform, then productivity will be decreased dramatically. Developers can impede Design Transfer by failing to create a vendor supply, one that is approved. Also, developers can create waste by safety liability issue to the manufacturer. Members of the organization( e.g. technical experts) tend to underestimate the cost and difficulty of Design Transfer process and so the process can be halted entirely as insufficient funds and effort can prevent the process from continuing beyond a certain point and it can be terminated altogether.
