Modernizing Product Development Processes : SAE International : 9781468605419 : 1468605410 : 31 Mar 2023 : Product lifecycles have shortened due to competition, rapidly changing markets, emerging technology, and regulation. Modernizing Product Development Processes: Guide for Engineers provides a foundation to focus on giving engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators a guide to developing products with a new approach instead of a traditional product development cycle.Using the fundamental pillars of this book, the authors demonstrate how to bridge the gap in today's product development cycle to improve "time to market" needs in a fast-paced environment. These pillars include:- Learning from failures and doing- Harnessing creativity (out-of-the-box thinking)- Front loading (develop concepts early)- Explore multiple possible solutions- Technology/Manufacturing readiness level- Modularity (integrate common solutions)In addition, the authors prepare engineers to scale up production to meet
