| Description | The way in which products are produced has been evolving rapidly during the last three decades. The start of the evolution in the United States was probably brought about by the realization that within the rst 10% of the total time it will take to design, manufacture, and deliver a product, numerous decisions will have been made that will effectively commit 85% of the funds to be expended for the project. However, during this short period of time less than 15% of these funds will actually be spent. In other words, the most inuential decisions regarding the eventual expenditures for the product's introduction into the marketplace will occur during the very early stages of its development cycle. This is illustrated in Figure 2.1. Another way of looking at this is to consider the estimates of the cost to perform a change during the following three stages of a product's development: design, process planning and engineering, and production. If the cost of making a change in the design stage is one unit of cost, then the cost of making a change in each of the subsequent stages will be many times that incurred in the design stage.
