Structuring a Manufacturing Process Technology Development Program for Success
The objective of a process technology development program is to develop and deploy a high performance, low cost and manufacturable technology that meets (or exceeds) the market's demands for availability (timing, capacity), cost, performance and quality. The same forces that are driving shrinking product lifecycles also drive shrinking technology development cycles. 50% of products sold today are less than two years old so technology development is central to maintaining competitiveness.
