The Great Benefits of Adopting a Global Concurrent Engineering (GCE) Model

Conceptualized in the 1900’s and grown during WWII, concurrent engineering (CE) has been the most competitive operation model used by some leading industries. Since the 1980’s, the semiconductor industry has been using CE to achieve superb speed to market for both IC chips and equipment manufacturing. However, due to restrictions in both resources and operational capabilities, only a few of business in other industries are able to practice this model. From design to manufacturing has always been a major challenge – implementing this at a global scale only exacerbates the situation. With 20 years of development experience and successes, E-BI can help clients to ramp up their Global Concurrent Engineering (GCE) workflow seamlessly using its artificial intelligence based global supply chain management system (GSCM), cross-functional specialty engineering teams and Star Factory Alliance. The GCE model will not only shorten your time on proving a new product’s manufacturability during the NPI stage, but also achieve the fastest speed to market.

Accelerating Your Product Development Process

Posted by E-BI on

Speed and quality are two of the few things that can get a company ahead of its competitors. The challenge is accelerating the product development process to get ahead without compromising quality.

The speed-to-market mind set has gained momentum in part due to today’s quick pace of innovation and compounding technologies, accessibility to funding through platforms like Kickstarter where anyone can be your competition, and the way that consumers are being conditioned to instant gratification.

Though a product’s time-to-market is becoming increasingly more critical, caution must still be taken. Faster is not always better, especially if it means cutting corners, hastily producing a low quality product, or even producing the wrong product that is bound to fail in the market. There must be a balance between having a sense of urgency and maintaining high-quality design practice standards.

3 Reasons Why DFM is Important to Think About

Posted by E-BI on

DFM (design for manufacturing) is the process of designing your product with the goal of making it easy to manufacture. It is a critical manufacturing tooling design and process development step before making a brand new product. If done well, DFM will assure both quality and productivity. Here are 3 reasons why you must take DFM into account in your planning:
