Overview
Building the Right Things Right combines all of the new business management tools, including empowered work teams, concurrent engineering, TQM, reengineering, design for manufacturing, process characterization, QFD, and benchmarking, and shows how they fit together into the new paradigm for product development. In addition, a collection of practical metrics is provided for monitoring the overall effectiveness of a new product development program and assessing the overall strategic balance of the organization's product direction. This book further describes how technology alliances among industry, universities, and government can be used to leverage the resources of a single organization. It assesses the status of the new development paradigm in industry and technical universities and contains an impressive collection of charts and reference data to illustrate the elements of the development process and their successful implementation. You will feel the power of the new paradigm presented in Building the Right Things Right as your company reaps such benefits as increased sales from early product introduction, products that fit customer needs, and extended product life; greater profit margins from the reduced pricing pressure that comes with early market entry; lower development costs from short development cycles and simpler products that precisely meet customer needs; and lower production costs from designs centered around manufacturing processes.Book Details
