Many firms are looking for ways to decrease concept to customer development time and, at the same time, improve quality and significantly reduce the cost of the resulting product. One approach many companies are taking is to involve material suppliers earlier in the design process. This involvement may range from simple consultation with suppliers on design ideas to making suppliers fully responsible for the design of components or systems they will supply.
