From the Publisher

Priest (industrial and manufacturing engineering, U. of Texas at Arlington) and Sanchez (production and operations management, graduate school of business leadership, ITESM) explain the strategies and "best practices" for ensuring a competitive advantage through product development. This book provides an overview of the design process; reviews the major stages in this process including requirement definition, trade-off analysis, simulation, test and evaluation, and supply chain; and discusses producibility and the techniques that have been proven to produce a reliable product.
