Produktionskrav

Produktionskrav, often translated as production requirements, is a documented set of criteria that a production process or product must meet. The term is used in Swedish and Nordic contexts, but the concept is widely applied across manufacturing, construction, and media production. Production requirements define the conditions, constraints, and expectations that guide planning, design, procurement, and execution to deliver a feasible, safe, and reliable output.

The scope of produksjonskrav typically includes functional and performance requirements (what the product or process must do and how well it must perform), as well as quality standards, regulatory and safety compliance, environmental constraints, and operational considerations such as tolerances, lead times, and maintenance needs. Non-functional aspects like reliability, maintainability, and usability are also common components, along with logistical factors such as supply chain availability and packaging.

Development and management of production requirements involve eliciting input from stakeholders, documenting traceable criteria, and establishing verification and validation methods. Change control and versioning are important to maintain alignment with evolving project goals, customer needs, and regulatory changes. The requirements should be testable and linked to acceptance criteria.

In practice, produksjonskrav serve as the basis for process design, equipment selection, capacity planning, and scheduling. They help ensure that resources are aligned with objectives and that risks are identified and mitigated. They are closely related to broader practices such as requirements engineering, quality management, and project planning.
