    Description:
    Implementing Integrated Product Development – The Holistic Approach This session is intended to help engineering managers implement a more rigorous approach to the practice of Engineering Management. We do this by outlining an Integrated Product Development methodology to achieve the following objectives:
  • Meet program cost targets.
  • Reduce total program costs.
  • Meet program milestones.
  • Reduce time to market.
  • Reduce engineering change following design freeze
  • We will bring a special focus to issues around implementing IPD. These range from how to implement cross-functional teams and consensus decision making, to how to identify managers who are out to sabotage your efforts to introduce IPD. We will place emphasis on balancing all domains of change, especially the political one, in an integrated enterprise.
  • YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
    Stephen Armstrong is uniquely qualified to lead this seminar. He is a fully apprenticed tool designer/tool maker, Professional Engineer, and Certified Management Consultant. He has headed AMGI, a Toronto based consulting practice for seven years. He has led many of the world’s leading aerospace companies to successfully implement IPD. His clients include British Aerospace Military, deHavilland Aircraft, Lockheed Martin, Bombardier Aerospace, Messier-Dowty Aerospace, McDonnell Douglas, and many non- Aerospace companies.
