Definition of CE
Systematic approach to integrated product development that emphasizes
response to customer expectationsand embodies
team values of cooperation, trust and sharingin such a manner that
decision making proceeds with large intervals of parallel working by all
life-cycle perspectives,synchronized
by comparatively brief exchanges to produce consensus.

Elements of CE
• Structure the TEAM for doing the work with clear ROLES and strong LEADERSHIP and EMPOWERMENT.
• Sharpen the VISION of what is the goal.
• Organize the COMPANY around the WORKFLOW.
• NETWORK the organization humanly and electronically.
• Involve every PERSPECTIVE in the full cycle of decision making from the BEGINNING.
• Propagate information EARLY.
• Implement systems for ease of SHARING.

Elements of CE contd.
• IMPROVE work processes to shorten TIME and increase CONCURRENCY.
• COORDINATE around TASKS, and DATA resulting from tasks.
• Maintain a CUSTOMER-derived slant for assessing status.
• Resolve CONFLICTS
(a) when absolutely necessary
(b) by CONSENSUS.

CE Status - Process
• Formal assessment of CE practices in organizations (Karandikar 1992) -- Characterizes Processes and support technologies using SEI model. Tool called RACE.
• Building a library of reusable CE processes by benchmarking the best organizations (Malone 1993).
• Re-engineering business processes in organizations -- a very hot consultancy service (Hammer, Stalk, Bower,..).

CE Status - Orgn. Trends
• Globalization of business (Mondeo - Ford, Airbus,..).
• Lethargic economies forcing layoffs in management ranks.
• Speeding up of product cycles -- agility and time-to-market.
• Contraction of the military budgets forcing development without production.
• Fall of the giants -- inability to run large enterprises in centralized fashion.

CE Acceptance -
Orgn. Values • TEAM Formation and LEADERSHIP¦ Cultivating a sense of teamwork, involving the
necessary people, and demonstrating leadership.• VISION
¦ Communicating a clear vision of a radically different organization.
• PLAN¦ Need to organize to markets and customers, not
products and technology.• TIME criticality
¦ Making changes quickly .. time is your enemy.

CE Acceptance -Orgn. Values • CUSTOMER Focus
¦ Responding to changes in the environment, and shifting focus to marketing from defense work.
¦ Organizing to markets is a new cry. • EMPOWERMENT
¦ Discouraging managers from approaching CEO unless there is trouble.
• Organize the COMPANY around the WORKFLOW¦ Stripping two layers of management from org charts
brings all top managers closer to buyers' needs.(Recent overhaul of GM Hughes when Michael Armstrong of IBM took over as CEO in April 1992)

Design for Disposability
• High environmental cost of disposal of product at the end of its useful life is a major concern for society.
• New discipline called Design for Disposability will tackle pollution at source (at the design stage) by the engineers who are responsible for nearly all the pollution in the world!
• Proposed take-back laws in Germany for automobiles, already being acted on by BMW, VW, etc.
