  4. Design in change management & training with stringent timetables<\/li>\n
  5. Create conceptual model<\/li>\n
  6. Establish<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Product Design for New Requirement<\/strong><\/p>\n

    New requirements for each functional team<\/p>\n

    Overl-the-Wall Design vs. Collaborative Design: CD means design team will involve different functional teams\/suppliers\/customers when considering design new products.<\/p>\n
