✦ Synopsis
This book explains how a company can incorporate advanced processes into its existing systems, integrating the product development, manufacturing, marketing, and costing functions. Howard Crabb, the pioneer of the visual engineering concept, draws on his 30 years of experience as manager of technical computing at Ford Motor Co. He explains in clear and effective language the steps required to reinvent the current new product development process, how change benefits the organization in terms of reduced cycle time, reduced engineering changes, reduced number of physical prototypes, and improved product quality developments in the semiconductor industry and their impact on the desktop computing environment.
