new product ideas are evaluated by the New Product Committee;
(2) a product survey is conducted; (3) management
decided the value of the idea and, if the idea is approved,
(*+) one man is given the responsibility for the program;
(5) engineering drawings are made, followed by a (6) proto-l
type; (7) drawings are revised, if necessary; (8) a new j
prototype is built; (9) the product is reviewed, and (10) J
if approved, is released to production. '
A particular development difficulty of the Corpora- jI
tion has been that of obtaining enough experienced engi- 1
neering talent. This problem has been met, to date, by i
securing inexperienced college graduates and training them.i
This has slowed down development to a degree and has j
required more supervision. Additionally, the fast rate !I
required of development has placed an added strain on the 1
Corporation.
It is hoped that future programs can be carried on
with little publicity until the finished new product is
about to come off the production line.
