These evaluations indicate that increasing the number of tools and amount of data, without other changes, cannot break down the barriers to improved productivity. The tools and data must be accompanied by new product development processes that meet the requirements of the market and current technologies. These processes, along with the tools, data, and employees who use them, must exist in a product development environment shaped by the philosophy and methodology of concurrent engineering.
This book describes the concurrent engineering environment necessary for developing electronic, software, mechanical, and system products in the 1990s. It is written for today's decision makers who must communicate their company's vision for tomorrow. If you are one of those decision makers, you are a manager of change, and concurrent engineering methods will enable you to reshape your company's product development environment into the concurrent engineering environment your company needs now and in the future.
In Concurrent Engineering: The Product Development Environment for the 1990s you will examine the five forces of change that you must contend with in competitive product design: technology, tools, tasks, talent, and time. You will uncover valuable resources within your own company by understanding how new multifunctional teams, made up of individuals from R&D, marketing, manufacturing and other key areas, will ensure that product design options are plausible before spending time and money. Whether you are an engineer or product manager, you will discover valuable guidance in this book on how to transform your product development approach to concurrent engineering.
