First Principles of Concurrent Engineering: A Competitive Strategy for Electronic Product Development. CALS/Concurrent Engineering Task Group - Electronic Systems

摘要

The U.S. electronics industry is in trouble. Progressively more electronic components and critical technologies are available only from foreign sources. The problems of maintaining a sufficient level of military readiness and a competitive commercial electronics industry to support a healthy economy are directly linked. The majority of problems are directly related to inherent inefficiencies in the way the products are engineered and the processes that manufacture, test and support them. The report outlines the principles of concurrent engineering for electronics development. The competitive strategy is part of the Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) system.
