The new competitors: they think in terms of ‘speed-to-market’
Abstract
Executive Overview Time-to-market is becoming a highly competitive issue for manufacturing companies, and in the 1990s it may be the single most critical factor for success across all markets. A new group of accelerating competitors is emerging that thinks in terms of speed-to-market. These business units are using shorter product life cycles and have a propensity for change which is winning market share and increasing profits. Key to their success is concurrent engineering which gives manufacturing managers a say in designing the production and ensuring that flexibility and efficiency are available in the product phase of product development. Technological advances in information processing provide the tools used in concurrent engineering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
