Reducing Engineering Time Wasters in Consumer Products

Why Care About Engineering Time Wasters?

How much more competitive would you be if you could improve engineering productivity? With customers expecting more from their products and stiff global competition, consumer products companies have their work cut out for them. New products must be innovative, sustainable, personalized, high quality, and reasonably priced to win over customers. Engineers are critical to successfully meet these requirements. Yet, engineers regularly lose productivity to non-value add tasks that not only rob them of their ability to innovate, but also threaten their company’s ability to compete, differentiate, and grow. Imagine the potential of identifying and removing the most common non-value-add activities engineers face and empowering them to focus on better products.
