✦ Synopsis

This article presents findings from a survey to determine resources for new product development available in Australia with emphasis on training, education, and consulting in the area of concurrent engineering activities, tools, and techniques. First the study surveys what is available in terms of courses and support services. Then the adequacy of these resources and the gap between them is examined to achieve more customer-focused products and shorter time-to-market. Finally, the human factor role in new product development is also explored.
