Reducing time-to-market through product development is becoming an important management topic: it is the Just-in-Time (JIT) and Total Quality Management (TQM) of the Nineties. PACE introduces new concepts and techniques developed by PRTM and used by well-known client companies and is based on actual in-depth experience in implementing new product improvement processes. Prepared primarily from PRTM training materials developed since 1987, the book describes the firm's concepts, approaches and techniques, which are practical and proven in industry. Because they are derived from a broad range of in-depth implementation experience, they can be described more clearly and specifically.
