In Making the Product Development FrameWORK chronicles the implementation of a Product Lifecycle (PLC) from the mid-nineties though 2010. The Intel experience is the basis for the story, but not the point. This story is about how a PLC can be implemented and evolved and is told anecdotally by the people on the front lines who actually develop products and support product development.

"...describes a thought provoking journey of learning and evolution... A solid dose of sound advice is woven throughout the book, making it a must read for individuals responsible for the definition, management, execution, and continuous improvement of their organization's end-to-end product life cycle."

- Peter A. Bilello, President, CIMdata

"Technology-driven organizations face unique product development challenges, including fast-changing markets, intense global competition, and complex supplier and design partner networks. ...is a stimulating examination of what works and what doesn't ...The real world examples of leading engineering processes and manufacturing applications will give the reader insight whether they're looking to begin a PLM initiative or evolve their PLM activities."

- Joe Dury, Senior Manager, Semiconductor Practice Leader, Kalypso

"This book is an excellent resource for managers involved in product development, whether from R&D, manufacturing, or quality. It provides a framework for how to develop products better and faster, while reducing risk in the development cycle. It's packed with fascinating real-life stories and lessons learned on change leadership. A must-read for those wanting to drive improvement changes in an organization."

- John Stark, President John Stark Associates, Author of 2 PLM books

"I recommend this book to people involved in product development processes of manufacturing companies in every domain and every scale. System architects and software vendors can find a significant value of real customer-oriented experience without focusing on a particular software system. If you're serious about learning the secrets of using the product development process as a competitive edge for your business, then...will show you how to connect PLC programs to the money decisions and strategic goals."
