Reviews
Nation's Business Magazine recommended only two books on "Reengineering",
Dr. Hammer's and Hunt's "Reengineering" book. Nation's Business Magazine noted
that Hunt's book deals at length with quality management as a critical element
of reengineering. Nation's
Business Magazine Essential reading for executives of production
companies. All such companies should be doing Integrated Product Development in
the way Dan Hunt describes it in "Reengineering". James
Martin, Author, Information System Guru, Chairman, James Martin & Company Dan
Hunt has again hit a home run by addressing a core national issue (reengineering)
which must be dealt with by every company - if we are to survive.
Ruth
M. Davis, Ph.d., President and CEO, The Pymatuning Group Inc. "Reengineering"
provides a compelling overview of the bold steps we need to take to achieve world
class levels of performance -- that will set the pace for America's next generation
of manufacturing leadership. Edward
A. Miller, President, National Center for Manufacturing Sciences In
the current environment of fast-paced technological change, nimble competitors,
and demanding customers, companies must discover more effective ways to consistently
create best-in-class new products. Integrated Product Development [as outlined
in Hunt's "Reengineering"book] is a proven approach to dramatically improving
an organization's ability to quickly respond to market demands with high quality
new products. American
Management Association Integrated product development (IPD)
is a streamlined, fully integrated approach to new product development aimed at
reducing the time and cost of bringing new new technology products to market.
"Reengineering" is the means by which IPD is planned and implemented. Industry
Week Hunt's "Reengineering" book describes how the application
of focussed integrated product development, in a reengineering context, significantly
decreases new product development time; reduces design, development, and maintenance
costs; and improves product quality and reliability. Mechanical
Engineering Magazine (ME Bookshelf) "Reengineering" provides
a compelling overview of the bold steps we need to take to achieve world-class
levels of performance that will set the pace for America's next generation of
manufacturing leadership. Business
Information ALERT For many companies, success and even survival
will depend on their ability to tap the power of Integrated Product Development.
Pioneered in companies such as AT&T, Boeing, and Hewlett-Packard, Integrated Product
Development is a powerful, adaptive method. "Reengineering" shows how to fully
integrate new product development by focusing on customer satisfaction, process
understanding, broad-based process reengineering, quality goals, multi-function
teams, effective tools and techniques, and continuous process improvement. Harry
W. Schwartz Bookshops Review Commentary
The first practical guide to using reengineering to dramatically
improve the development and success of new products. Executives, product development
teams and engineering design groups will see how to consistently execute successful
new product launches. In a compelling, clear fashion, Hunt describes how companies
can fully integrate their product development process by focusing on seven key
initiatives. They include process understanding; broad-based process reengineering;
establishing quality goals and multi-functional teams; using the right tools and
techniques; and implementing ongoing continuous improvement. One of the "best
selling" books on Integrated Product Development. "Reengineering"
factors that drive adoption of Integrated Product Development - Pressure
to cut costs
- Pressure to hold down prices

scrap and rework
- More competitors, often on a global basis
- Pressure
to understand and simplify processes
