As we move intothe new century, we need to incorporate these improvements to develop truly agile productdevelopment process. There is trend towards a multiplicity of finished products with shortdevelopment and production lead times. An agile approach to manufacturing faces the realitythat we must serve customers with small quantities of custom designed parts with perfect quality,100% on-time delivery, and at very low cost.
