With 80% of product cost being locked in at the design stage – it is essential that engineers adopt a structured approach to product development that maximises value to the customer, and minimises manufacturing costs. In today’s competitive environment, technology excellence is no longer enough to guarantee business success, and products need to be developed effectively, delivered on time, and manufactured efficiently. Developing these capabilities is not easy, and many once leading players have failed to evolve and subsequently lost their market position.
Smallpeice Enterprises’ comprehensive range of modular courses focus on the key issues of the New Product Development process: with practical tools and techniques that encourage best practice from concept selection and customer focused development, through to rigorous design optimisation and cost-effective manufacture. |
