The
Problem:
Ineffective engineering takes longer, increases development costs,
and reduces revenues:
-
Late projects cause a triple impact of added
development costs, revenue lost forever, and reduced sales.
-
Poor quality causes a triple impact of longer
development intervals (i.e. added development costs), added sustaining
engineering and support costs, and reduced sales.
-
Projects with too many people cause added
development costs.
These added development costs and reduced sales
revenues are real and quantifiable. The table below summarizes what is
shown above, and also shows how the savings from Effective Engineering can
benefit both your top line (revenues) and bottom line (profits).
