Request Expert

Expert has led product development teams using concurrent engineering methods since 1992. This involved having marketing and manufacturing involved so that tooling could be started before the design was complete. The involves several risk - reward assessments to balance the potential of wasting expense dollars vs the reward of improvement in time to market. This approach led to reduction in normal product development time by as much as 1/3 normal time. Additional enhancements over multiple new product introductions has led to taking greater risks with more successful results.
