Abstract

If a company is to compete in today′s aggressive marketplace it will require more than an ability simply to manufacture products. With innovation cycles within the high‐tech industry rapidly shortening, simply to survive, a company must be able to turn ideas into successful products in half is previous best time. Add the complication of controlling product development across international boundaries as our world shrinks, and the challenges become severe indeed. Du Pont Composites addressed these twin issues by implementing Pittiglio Rabin Todd & NcGrath′s PACE (Product And Cycle‐time Excellence) methodology. Documents the changes necessary fir Du Pont to become a world‐class product developer.
