What if the innovation, economy of scale, competitive advantage, and profitability of your product line were limited only by your imagination instead of your engineering capacity?
Organizations are being pushed to the edge of their capability by the exponentially growing diversity and complexity of today’s product lines — how they are engineered, produced, delivered, and evolved. These variant and complexity management challenges are so large they can impede a company’s ability to achieve strategic business objectives.
