Product design is not just concerned with the appearance and functionality of products; it has an important role in determining the cost, pricing, risk and profitability profile of those products. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct Design and the Supply Chain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e shows how decisions taken at the design stage of a product's life cycle go on to affect that product's subsequent value to a company. Eighty percent of a product's eventual supply chain costs are already present at the early stages of product design and development. This book allows companies to make informed design decisions that have significant positive through-life implications for risk, complexity and responsiveness, thus allowing them to create a 'moat' that is difficult for competitors to sidestep or surmount. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct Design and the Supply Chain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e contains fascinating content applicable to industry.
