Design For eXcellence Focus : A Holistic Strategy to Improve Design Quality, Reduce Costs and Shorten Time to Market

Excellence in product design is more than just innovation. Successful designs are often distinguished based on multiple fronts – manufacturability, quality, cost, and time to market. A product design that has not considered the downstream requirements poses a significant risk to business and overall time to market and costs. Addressing designs for manufacturability and assembly requirements is essential to meet program schedules, achieving high quality, reducing errors and rework, and controlling manufacturing costs. Only that design can be called a success which takes a holistic approach considering all the above factors.
