Direct Engineering: Toward Intelligent Manufacturing Toward Intelligent Manufacturing

Direct Engineering (DE) is the creation of a product development cycle into a single, unified process. The design process in most industries is an evolutionary one (i.e., incremental changes to some existing design). DE is a manufacturing process that seeks to improve the design processes by providi...
