With more emphasis being placed on the cost and quality of new
products and on reducing the lead time to develop them, attention
is turning to the increasingly important topic of design for
manufacturability (DFM). This involves the collaboration among
research and development, manufacturing, and other company
functions and is aimed at accelerating the new product development
process from product conception to market introduction. A company
can create a competitive advantage for itself by managing the
process and its related organizational dynamics effectively. This
book includes chapters by experts who focus on the development of
strategic capabilities, such as the systematic development and
introduction of new technologies into products and processes, as
well as the use of appropriate tools and techniques to facilitate
communication and problem-solving between design and manufacturing.
Other topics covered include learning from experience; the social,
political, and cultural contexts within which key players interact;
and the degree to which management of information and development
of an effective structure are critical to new product development
success. The information-intensive nature of the product
development process is demonstrated throughout the book. The final
chapter contains a model that links the role of information in the
development of products to a company's capability to organize,
process, and learn from that information.
