Book excerpt: Many organizations are falling far short of achieving the lifecycle potential of their new product designs. One major source of this suboptimal business performance stems from underleveraging key Systems Engineering and Design Engineering principles in the early phases of the design process. If these are being poorly applied, the following will likely occur: Inefficient use of engineering (and other cross-functional) resources Unnecessarily high product development costs Delayed time-to-market Subpar launch quality Poor system-level safety Suboptimal lifecycle sustainability-related performance Compromised design innovation This report addresses these challenges and articulates how an integrated approach of “Systems Design Engineering” provides nonburdensome and quickly applied methods for overcoming these shortcomings, placing a dedicated focus on the three high-level principles that govern lifecycle product design success. Excellent and efficient performance against each of them is needed to achieve a new product’s lifecycle goals. Holistically understanding the needs and opportunities of a system Efficient development of system-level design concepts with best-in-class potential System-level design concept selection, including effective risk mitigation Click here to access the full SAE EDGETM Research Report portfolio. 9781468608878 9781468608885 https://doi.org/10.4271/EPR2024024
