Product innovation is a key driver of industry. Intensifying competition and growing product complexity, together with increasing market volatility and ever shorter lead times mean that a systematic approach to product development is essential. In particular, integrated approaches to the management of energy, material and information flows during the product design stage are indispensable to the timely introduction of quality products with desirable features at attractive prices.
This module equips you with a deep understanding of product development cycles, with a particular emphasis on the integrated management of energy, material and information flows during (product) design involving collaboration (design teams), multiple variants and a synthesis of industrial and technical design aspects
