• Sommario/riassunto: Increase profitability and reduce risk through effective parts selection and managementCorporations recognize that technology can be the key to fueling product design and development. But just as crucial-if not more-to a company's success are the decisions about when, what, and how a technology will be used. Few companies have failed because the right technology was not available; many have failed when a technology was not effectively selected and managed.Parts Selection and Management is a guide to increasing company profitability and reducing the time-to-profit through the ef
