Challenge: 
Losing new sales opportunities due to new product development time taking at least twice as long as competitors.

Process: 
Implemented new tool development process based on the implementation of new cad software and team based product development approach.

Result: 
Development schedules are maintained and no longer slipping by months. Legacy problems with people, processes, and equipment are now proactively addressed.

Experience:  
“Our industry has been ravaged by Asian competition and our survival is dependent on speed. Our new process has allowed us to develop new products faster and we have been able to assert control over what was a chaotic and unpredictable process. We are getting things done despite our limited resources by managing development by a cross-functional team and by prioritizing and addressing problematic issues. I cannot imagine how we would have managed without this process.”
