This book integrates key tools and processes into a comprehensive program for developing more robust and reliable technology-based products. Drawing on their extensive product development experience, the authors present a complete process for ensuring product performance throughout the entire lifecycle, from understanding customers’ needs through manufacturing and post-launch support. The authors begin by presenting broad insights and high-level strategies for improving product quality. Next, they demonstrate how to implement robustness and reliability strategies that complement existing governance and decision processes. A section on tools and methods shows how to institutionalize best practices and apply them consistently. Finally, they tie strategies, decisions, and methods together through a case study project. Product developers will learn how to <ul>
<li>Understand critical drivers of value in technology products, including reliability and durability </li>
<li>Implement a process model and roadmap for improving reliability and robustness </li>
<li>Increase robustness early in development, leading to shorter cycle times in later phases </li>
<li>Improve the stability of production performance under stress conditions </li>
<li>Assess both organizational and process capabilities for delivering robust and reliable products </li>
<li>Understand and manage customer-driven requirements </li>
<li>Use tools including descriptive and inferential statistics and DOE-based empirical models</li> </ul>
 Managers will understand expectations for <ul>
<li>Design concepts supported by rigorous analyses of alternatives </li>
<li>Products and processes delivering higher value to customers </li>
<li>Products with higher reliability and longer useful lives </li>
<li>Product processes with lower costs and higher capabilities </li>
<li>Development projects having shorter, more predictable cycle times</li> </ul>
Readers are introduced to many thought leaders whose writings can be sources of further learning.

Highlands

Seated majestically upon a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Highlands, one of New Jersey's most famous and romantic coastal towns, has served, in turns, as sanctuary, battlefield, resort destination, and home to generations of Americans, both immigrant and native. Its history, in many ways, mirrors the epic tale of America's evolution: an untamed wilderness yielding under the determination and sacrifice of a people laboring to create an enduring community--and in Highlands, they succeeded. Highlands, Ney Jersey chronicles this town's remarkable journey across four centuries of adventure, adversity, and prosperity, from the first New World explorers, such as Verrazano and Henry Hudson, to the present-day men and women who work, live, and play along these picturesque shores. This illustrated volume provides a rare glimpse into the Highlands of yesteryear and introduces readers to a cast of unique characters against a backdrop of major local and nation events, such as the Revolutionar

Murder & Mayhem in the Highlands: Historic Crimes of the Jersey Shore

The History Press

The Highlands was first sighted by Henry Hudson himself and is known as the place where the Jersey shore begins. Its beaches are perennially crowded with sunbathers, swimmers and families. But buried under the sands, the Highlands hides sins from the past. Sandy Hook claimed North America's first European murder victim, a passenger on Hudson's Half Moon. During Prohibition, mobsters supplied Bay Avenue businesses with plenty of booze. A man accused of shooting another with a cannon performed an Old West style jailbreak. And sometimes, soldiers stationed along the shores caused more trouble than they prevented. Read about these and other wicked deeds committed in New Jersey's Highlands.
