The Presentation is intended for engineers that work on developing and producing products in large volume, yet want to optimize the product development cycle and avoid costly mistakes.  The Presentation covers the Product Development (PD) phases and the roles of the different functions throughout the PD phases.  The purpose of this Presentation is to help engineers understand how the product development pieces fit together, and how to get the most out of their product development efforts.  This will be done by going over the product development (PD) process, detailing the roles of each function, highlighting critical dependencies, and passing on best practices.
