C. Forsythe, M.R. Ashby · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1995
A-PRIMED (Agile Product Realization for Innovative Electro MEchanical Devices) demonstrated new product development in24 days accompanied by improved product quality, through ability enabling technologies. A concurrent engineering communications infrastructure was developed that provided electronic data communications, information access, enterprise integration of computers and applications, and collaborative work tools. This paper describes how A-PRIMED did it through attention to technologies, processes, and people.
