Plan and clarify the assignment The product requirements are identified in this phase. They can be classified as technical or economic requirements. A provisional list of requirements is drawn up in this way on the basis of the development assignment and is elaborated in further detail in the subsequent development process. 

Conceptualize the production process Conceptualization of the production process parallels product conceptualization. On the one hand, the basic product solution entails restrictions in terms of the possible production processes. On the other hand, there are production-related restrictions deriving from the processes used in production. The developer has to select the most suitable MID production process on the basis of these findings.
