This new volume discusses -- in business and engineering terms -- the reinvention of the product development process. It addresses the tough questions about time-to-market and time-to-money in light of recent advances, such as those in predictive engineering software capabilities and in workstations that bring the power of supercomputers to an engineer's desk. Examining current technology and its implications for your future success or failure, Howard C. Crabb demonstrates how your company can integrate advances into your existing systems and organization. Dr. Crabb is president and CEO of Interactive Computer Engineering. He had over 30 years of experience at Ford Motor Company, where he pioneered the concept of visual engineering -- the representation of CAD data as realistic images.
